You can complain to ABC about Jimmy Kimmel through ABC’s official feedback channels and, if you want, by also contacting Disney and your local ABC affiliate.

Key ways to complain (step‑by‑step)

  1. Use ABC’s official feedback form
    • Go to the ABC Help Center feedback page (the article titled “How do I submit feedback for shows on ABC.com?” links directly to it).
 * Click the **“Submit Programming Feedback”** button under the Help Center search bar.

 * Fill in the required fields (your contact info, show name “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, date/time, your comments).
 * Be specific (e.g., episode date, particular segment, why you found it inappropriate or unfair).
  1. Contact ABC Audience Relations by phone
    • ABC lists an Audience Relations phone line at (818) 460‑7477 for network feedback.
 * Call during normal business hours, state you are calling **about “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC** , and briefly explain your complaint.
 * Keep it calm and professional; note if you are a long‑time viewer, a parent, or part of a group that regularly watches ABC.
  1. Send written feedback to Disney / ABC corporate
    • Coverage about the Jimmy Kimmel suspension points viewers to the general ABC/Disney feedback route via support.abc.com for comments on the decision.
 * Some campaigns also encourage writing to Disney (ABC’s parent company) to say you are “watching how they respond” to this situation.

 * In your message, clearly state:
   * That your complaint is specifically about **Jimmy Kimmel** or **ABC’s handling of his show**.
   * How this affects your viewing habits (e.g., considering canceling related services, changing what you watch).
  1. Contact your local ABC affiliate
    • In some areas, local stations have been the focal point for viewer complaints about Jimmy Kimmel or his timeslot.
 * Go to your local ABC station’s website and look for “Contact us” or “Station info” for:
   * General manager or station manager
   * Viewer feedback email
   * Main phone number
 * Tell them:
   * You’re a viewer in their market.
   * Your specific complaint about Jimmy Kimmel or ABC’s decision involving his show.
   * How it may change whether you watch their station or local advertisers. Some discussion threads suggest that local advertising pressure can matter.

How to structure an effective complaint

Use a short, clear structure so your complaint is easy to understand:

  1. Who you are
    • “I am a regular ABC viewer in [city/state].”
    • Mention if you watch other ABC/Disney content (e.g., Hulu, Disney+, FX) if you’re considering changing that over this issue.
  1. What happened
    • Identify it precisely:
      • “I’m complaining about Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on [date/episode].”
      • Or “I’m complaining about ABC’s decision to suspend/keep Jimmy Kimmel on air” depending on your view.
  1. Why you object
    • Focus on the impact (offensive content, perceived political bias, standards, or free‑speech concerns).
    • Keep it factual and avoid threats or insults; strong but respectful language is more likely to be taken seriously.
  2. What you want ABC to do
    • Examples:
      • Issue an apology or clarification.
      • Enforce clearer content standards.
      • Reconsider their decision about Jimmy Kimmel’s show (suspending or reinstating, depending on your stance).
 * Mention any **action you are taking** , such as reconsidering watching ABC/Disney networks or subscriptions, which many viewers bring up in public complaints.

Example template you can adapt

I am a long‑time ABC viewer in [your city/state], and I’m writing to file a complaint about Jimmy Kimmel on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” On [date/approximate date], he [briefly describe the joke/segment/issue]. I found this unacceptable because [state clearly why: offensive, inappropriate for family viewing, unfairly targeting a person/group, etc.]. I expect ABC to uphold higher standards for late‑night programming and to address this issue publicly. This situation is making me reconsider my support for ABC and other Disney‑owned platforms. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and respond with appropriate action.

Forum / trending angle (if you care about that side)

Public discussions since late 2025 have framed the Jimmy Kimmel situation as part of a bigger fight about free speech, politics, and corporate responsibility in media. Some common viewpoints:

  • Viewers angry at ABC/Disney
    • They argue suspending or pressuring Kimmel is “caving” to political pressure and undermining free expression.
* Some say they are canceling Disney‑related subscriptions and calling for wider boycotts.
  • Viewers angry at Kimmel himself
    • Others see Kimmel as going too far, either in political commentary or in offensive jokes, and support complaints or pressure on ABC to act.
* They emphasize that networks respond most to advertising and subscription money, not just emails.
  • Action‑focused campaigns
    • Social posts and reels describe “how to take action”: call your local ABC affiliate, contact Disney corporate, and “do not stop talking about this.”
* Some posts even give step‑by‑step instructions labeled as “how to file a complaint to ABC regarding Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

Practical tips so your complaint stands out

  • Be specific : reference dates, segments, quotes if you remember them.
  • Be civil but firm : strong language is fine; personal threats or slurs are usually ignored.
  • Keep it short : a tight paragraph or two is more likely to be read.
  • Consider using multiple channels (form + phone + local affiliate) if you feel strongly.
  • If it’s about a serious issue (e.g., discrimination, incitement), clearly label it as such and describe the harm you see, not just that you “didn’t like” the joke.

TL;DR :
Use ABC’s feedback form (“Submit Programming Feedback”), call Audience Relations at (818) 460‑7477, and optionally contact your local ABC affiliate and Disney corporate, explaining clearly what Jimmy Kimmel did, why you object, and what you want ABC to do.
