Jimmy Kimmel’s cousin hinted at more “bombshells” after ABC suspended the late-night host over his comments on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Sal Iacono insinuated that more drama was about to unfold for the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host on Monday’s episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast.”
“I wish I could say anything. There are a couple of bombshells still there,” Iacono said.

Kimmel’s cousin, Sal Iacono, discussed the tensions on Monday’s episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast.”
The comedian — a longtime writer for Kimmel’s show who has appeared in several episodes — said he is “feeling good” despite tensions with the network.
“We’re going to be all right. Everything’s going to be just fine,” he said of the show’s staffers.
Iacono also said Kimmel will also be “fine” with “whatever he wants to do” in his career next.

“Hey, listen, he might just want to be a pop-up chef and start making barbecue around the South Bay area. He’ll do a great job,” Iacono joked, adding, “That’s all I have to say right now.”
“I can’t really say anything,” he continued. “You and I know too much. It’s very emotional.”
Iacono, known professionally as Cousin Sal, remained vague but reiterated that Kimmel and the show’s staffers “know too much.”
“Not only our cousin, but all the people working for the show, and, it’s better if we’re not talking about this in any way,” he said.

Kimmel, 57, landed in hot water last week after discussing Kirk’s suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, during his monologue on his eponymous show.
“The MAGA gang are desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel then poked fun at the way President Trump answered press questions about Kirk’s death, playing a clip where the politician changed the subject by talking about White House renovations.
“He’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction,” Kimmel joked. “This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr subsequently threatened to launch an official investigation into Kimmel’s remarks, and shortly after, Trump announced on Truth Social that the show was “cancelled.”
TV station conglomerate Nexstar Media also put out a statement threatening to pull Kimmel’s show, and ABC then announced that the program would be “pre-empted indefinitely.”
Kimmel was reportedly “livid” over the network’s decision to suspend him, though he was allegedly already looking to cut ties with ABC.
