{{/usCountry}}Kimmel faced massive backlash after airing a recent episode of the show. During his monologue in the episode, he made comments about 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, the suspected shooter in the Charlie Kirk assassination case. He suggested that the “MAGA gang” was “trying to characterise this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”
