Did Vince Gill storm off Jimmy Kimmel's show after arguing with him on air?

Following ABC's temporary suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in September 2025 — a move that followed criticism of Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination — a surge of false claims about Kimmel flooded social media.

For years, Kimmel has been a target of fictional stories on social media, including claims about massive brand losses and conflicts with show guests.

For example, one story about Kimmel falsely claimed the network replaced him with Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a $400 million deal. Other rumors alleged Coca-Cola "dropped" Kimmel from an apparent sponsorship deal and that he got into fights with high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Karoline Leavitt.

To set the record straight, we've compiled 16 rumors about Kimmel that Snopes has investigated over the years.
