Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, was seen dodging questions as he and other staff members swiftly fled the studio after ABC decided to indefinitely suspend the late-night talk show on Wednesday.
The veteran host’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be removed from the network for the foreseeable future over his divisive comments linked to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
This huge and very drastic move comes after Kimmel falsely mentioned that the man accused of killing Kirk, Tyler Robinson, was a conservative. Instead, investigators added how Robinson held far-left ideologies and was dating a trans roommate.
Rodriguez, who started to appear on the late-night show in 2003, was seen driving out of the studio in Hollywood with people gathered near him. However, he did everything to evade all queries rushed in his direction about Kimmel being pulled off the air by keeping his windows rolled up.
