With the exception of NBC’s The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, all of the late night comedy reacted to the assassination of Charlie Kirk on their Thursday program by hitting on all the proper points about political violence being unacceptable and un-American. Some even criticized some on the left for their reaction to it, but while some may sincerely believe that gun control is part of the solution, they nevertheless lack the factual evidence to support such claims.
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, probably referring to the responses to his Bluesky post, lamented, “I’ve seen a lot of extraordinarily vile responses to this from both sides of the political spectrum. Some people are cheering this, which is something I just won't ever understand.”
Kimmel then turned to guns, “We had another school shooting yesterday in Colorado. The 100th one of the year.”
