Disney said in a statement Monday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to its ABC broadcast on Tuesday.
The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement.
“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. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive,” according to a statement from Disney. “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.”

AND FEWER THAN EVER WILL TUNE IN.
Now the liberals can stop squealing about censorship and Trump is taking people off the air and all of that.
He can’t help himself.
He’ll auger in sooner rather than later.
Big ratings the first 2-3 shows, then back to normal ratings.
You can never believe the news or anything a company tells you. Commie POS will continue losing them money because he’s their commie POS.
Thanks for the warning.
Expect a non-apology apology along the lines of, “I’m sorry if you took offense”.
Hw will probably get a ratings bump Tuesday, then gradually return to the rating cellar
But But I thought according to the commie media Trump got his show sacked, yet he’s coming back..well, will the putz apologize or nah, he wont of course. Disney is being stupid, Celebrity Family Feud got a lot more ratings than Kimmel they should have kept that on the air
The real question is what Sinclair and Nexstar are going to do?
Yep, this was widely expected. The NY Post mentioned these negotiations earlier today.
They had to bring him back. ABC received a lot of complaints from his dozen viewers.
Kimmel will offer a non apology apology and get right back to Trump bashing.
Better than making Kimmel a martyr. Let him fizzle out.
Wait, what will this do to Trump’s value as a Nazi?
It seems like his contract is up next May anyway. This way avoids lawsuits.
They will create the narrative that ABC stood up to dictator Trump.
“Expect a non-apology apology along the lines of, “I’m sorry if you took offense”.”

Or “I’m sorry your not smart enough to understand my comedy”.....libs are great at insulting people’s intelligence.
I wish Brendan Carr had just kept his mouth shut instead of making this walking anal vapor a First Amendment martyr.
ABC caved. No surprise there at all.
