US Vice President JD Vance has made a surprising announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter. He revealed that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be stepping in to fill the shoes of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC.

The network has yet to officially confirm this news, but Vance dropped the bombshell on Thursday morning. This comes just a day after the sudden cancellation of the comedian’s long-standing late-night programme, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Jimmy’s show was abruptly axed by the broadcaster following his opening monologue earlier this week, where he mentioned Charlie Kirk.

The VP requested that everyone congratulate @marcorubio, the new host of ABC’s late-night show, in an unanticipated turn of events.

ABC, which is owned by Disney, pulled the plug on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his comments about the death of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk. Specifically, his remarks about the suspected killer and his mockery of Trump’s icy response to questions about his associate’s death, according to the Irish Star.

Charlie Kirk, the host of the podcast Turning Point, was attending the first event of The American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University when he was shot in the neck. Officials believe the weapon used was a high-powered rifle.

Kirk did not survive his injuries and has since become a martyr for the Republican Party.

The MAGA Gang is frantically trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything but one of them and using all means to gain political points from it, according to Jimmy.

He continued, “There was grieving in between the finger-pointing.”

On a human level, the president is taking it seriously, he continued, cutting a clip of Trump being interviewed by the press about the new ballroom when asked how he was holding up after his friend’s death.

Yes, construction is the fourth stage of grief. An adult does not grieve the death of a person he referred to as a friend. Okay, that’s how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish, right? And it didn’t just happen once, Jimmy claimed before airing a second clip of the president talking about the ballroom on Fox News when questioned about how he had heard about Charlie’s passing.

The host continued, “Why are we building a $200 million ballroom in the White House?” Is it possible that he intentionally acts in a way that makes us angry rather than the Epstein list? “The country has been frightened over his sudden dismissal, which has caused fear to surround the right to free speech.”

Despite having no prior television experience aside from making guest appearances on Fox News and other networks, Marco Rubio is rumored to be stepping down as vice president.

However, it is still unknown whether the politician will host his own ABC program.
