President Donald Trump has nothing but praises to sing for FCC Chair Brendan Carr after Carr pressured ABC, leading to the network's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night TV show following the host's remarks about Charlie Kirk's shooting suspect.

Check out Trump's chat with reporters in the White House Oval Office Friday ... he's exuding pride as he calls Carr an "incredible American patriot with courage."

He then takes a dig at unnamed networks for being dishonest, bringing up "the old days" when networks would need to get relicensed each year -- and only could do so by showing "honesty and integrity." The Federal Communications Commission currently renews licenses on 8-year terms.

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner is blasting the Mouse House and current CEO Bob Iger for taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air ... and he's got one question ... "Where has all the leadership gone?"

Eisner, who left his role as Disney CEO two decades ago, sounded off on the Kimmel situation Friday on social media and appeared to take a swipe at his successor.

He posted on X ... "If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The 'suspending indefinitely' of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation."

Kanye West's "In Whose Name?" third-person documentary is in theaters today, and it's giving viewers a glimpse into how volcanic his last few years have been ... including how things got bad between him and his ex-mother-in-law, Kris Jenner!!!

In one clip, obtained by TMZ, Ye is filmed crashing out on Kris in an explosive shouting match over the megastar rapper's public perception when he was hospitalized back in 2016.

Kris told Ye it didn't matter what the internet peanut gallery thought ... prompting a temper tantrum from him on the spot, repeatedly screaming, "It does matter!" in her face.

Jimmy Kimmel looks like he may be exploring legal options over his TV timeout ... because he pulled up to an office tower known for housing tons of lawyers ... and he had two security guards with him.

Check out this video of Jimmy getting out of his car in a parking garage Thursday in L.A.'s Century City ... two beefy security guards rush over to escort him into the building.

It appears Jimmy may be meeting with his attorneys ... this in the wake of his show getting taken off the air.

The FCC should have never gotten involved with the decision to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" from ABC, North Carolina U.S. Rep. Pat Harrigan (R) says.

TMZ caught up with Harrigan Friday, and while he's not opposed to Jimmy being indefinitely booted from the network ... he says how it happened is quite "troubling."

He tells us he thinks it's "troubling" what Jimmy said on-air following Charlie Kirk's death, but it's not the government's job to censor him ... and it "should be a business decision and a business decision alone."

Jimmy Kimmel isn't letting his show's suspension rain on his parade -- he was seen smilin' wide as he stepped out of his car in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon.

Perhaps his fellow late-night show hosts having his back has him feeling extra loved after ABC swiftly booted 'Live!' off the air following pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who threatened to "take action" following Jimmy's remarks about Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter and his political affiliation.

As we reported ... many of Jimmy's Hollywood colleagues have spoken out to defend him, with Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert all criticizing the move on their respective shows.

Jon Stewart is using heavy sarcasm to rip into Donald Trump ... this on the heels of Jimmy Kimmel getting suspended by ABC over his remarks about Charlie Kirk's killer.

"The Daily Show" host made an unusual appearance on the show Thursday -- he's typically only behind the desk on Mondays -- as the show rolled out a complete makeover, poking fun at the president.

Before Stewart appears in a Trump-like outfit against a golden decor backdrop ... the show's announcer says, "From Comedy Central, it’s the all-new government-approved ‘Daily Show’ with your patriotically obedient host, Jon Stewart."

Network late-light hosts are rallying behind Jimmy Kimmel after his ABC suspension ... tackling the controversy in their Thursday night monologues.

'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon -- who Trump's rooting to get fired next -- jokes ABC getting pressured by the FCC to suspend Kimmel has left everyone thinking, "WTF."

Fallon quips his father texted him a bunch, sending condolences that his show got canceled -- mistakenly, since they share the same first name. But then he gets earnest, saying he has no idea what's going on ... calling Kimmel "a decent, funny and loving guy" and hoping he makes a comeback.

Stephen Colbert is rushing to Jimmy Kimmel's defense ... and taking another shot at President Trump.

Colbert reacts to ABC indefinitely yanking Kimmel's show off the air in Thursday's episode of his own late-night talk show ... according to CNBC ... blasting the Kimmel suspension as "blatant censorship."

Stephen laid the blame with Trump, saying ... "With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch."

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr just fired a warning shot at "The View" ... suggesting the ABC daytime panel show could be next on his list after ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night program.

Check it out ... Carr was a guest Thursday on "The Scott Jennings Radio Show," where he explained why other talk shows -- like ABC's "The View" -- are not required to air opposing viewpoints or feature opposing candidates on the same program, for example ... and why that could change going forward.

As the chairman explained, "The View" and its competitors are officially labeled "bona fide news" programs ... meaning they're exempt from following the FCC's Equal Time Rule. So, they aren't required to give political rivals equal time on each show.

It's the summer Jenny Han duped fans into thinking they knew how the finale ended ... and she's pretty tickled by her fake-out.

"The Summer I Turned Pretty" creator confirmed she and the cast DID film fake scenes while in production in Paris for the third and final season ... admitting it was a way to protect the story from being spoiled.

ICYMI ... 'TSITP' fans were sent into a tizzy last year when Lola Tung -- who plays leading lady Belly Conklin -- was seen reuniting with Gavin Casalegno -- who plays Jeremiah Fisher -- for one scene in the City of Light ... indicating the two were endgame.

David Letterman's got a lot to say about ABC putting Jimmy Kimmel on the sidelines ... and he's taking some swipes at President Trump's administration.

The legendary late-night talk show host said ABC pulling the plug on Kimmel under pressure from the Trump administration for some controversial Charlie Kirk killer comments signals dark times ahead.

Letterman, speaking Thursday at The Atlantic Festival, said ... "We all see where this is going, correct? It's managed media."

Donnell Rawlings is defending Jimmy Kimmel in the face of government sponsored cancel culture ... and he's explaining why comedians should be allowed to speak freely, without fear of losing their jobs.

The veteran standup comic joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live," and we asked him about ABC suspending Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely after outrage over Jimmy's remarks about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer and MAGA.

Donnell says comedians are supposed to make light of tragic events to help Americans cope, and he says what's happening to Kimmel will make comics extra careful about what they say ... which he says is actually bad for the country and comedy.

Late-night TV show fans nationwide were left shocked on September 17 when it was revealed "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" had been indefinitely pulled off the air by ABC.

And it turns out the comedian's suspension was prompted by comments he'd made about Charlie Kirk's murder and MAGA, which Nexstar Media Group -- the company that owns 32 ABC affiliate stations across America -- "strongly" objected to.

We're going to take a look at what kind of reactions -- both positive and negative -- have been shared in the wake of the late-night show host's removal from the air.

Kimmel claimed MAGA-affiliated figures in media and politics were trying to characterize Kirk's alleged murderer "as anything other than one of them" in his opening monologue, according to USA Today.

He then stated the same individuals were doing everything they could in the wake of Kirk's death to "score political points" and quipped the president's reaction to the commentator's murder was similar to "how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish."

The late-night host said there was "something wrong" with President Donald Trump ... referring to a clip of Trump talking about the progress on the White House's new ballroom when he was asked about how he was doing days after Kirk was shot.

Kimmel wondered whether Trump was focusing on the renovation "so he can be bad about that instead of the Epstein list."

Numerous Hollywood entities and figures spoke out about Kimmel being pulled off the air, including Ben Stiller, Jean Smart, and Wanda Sykes -- who claimed Trump was able to "end freedom of speech within his first year" as opposed to ending the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, according to NBC News.

Various unions representing individuals working in the entertainment industry -- including The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists -- issued statements of their own to condemn the late-night host's removal.

A group of Democratic congresspeople issued a statement calling for the resignation of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and claimed he had "disgraced the office he holds" ... on a podcast Wednesday, hours before Kimmel was yanked, Carr seemed to issue a veiled threat to Disney -- ABC's parent company -- about Kimmel's remarks, talking about "the easy way or the hard way."

Former President Barack Obama shared a post on his X account to pronounce the Trump administration had taken cancel culture "to a new and dangerous level" after years of complaining about its effects.

Some of the reactions to Kimmel's removal were positive and celebrated the shift in late-night programming.

Vice President J.D. Vance shared a post on X to jokingly congratulate Secretary of State Marco Rubio on becoming "the new host of ABC’s late night show."

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson -- whose podcast Carr had been -- said Kimmel's removal was part of what he described as "consequence culture" and added he felt "the line was crossed" when he spoke about Kirk's murder.

James Woods has little sympathy for Jimmy Kimmel in the wake of his indefinite suspension from late-night TV ... sending the comedian an expletive-topped message amid the news.

While the rest of Hollywood has rallied around Kimmel following his abrupt departure from television, the veteran actor made it clear he was not upset by ABC's decision ... telling Kimmel to "eat s***" in a note shared on X.

Check it out ... Woods starts off his message feigning empathy, praising Kimmel as a fellow artist and claiming he's "heartbroken" by the way JK's been treated.
