Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show is coming back to ABC on Tuesday after negotiations with Disney, the company told NOTUS in a statement.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” The Walt Disney Company wrote. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last week after the late-night show host speculated about the political affiliation of the man accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at a university event in Utah earlier this month.
