After a brief pause, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* is returning to television. According to *Variety*, Disney and ABC will resume airing the show starting Tuesday night. Last week, ABC temporarily stopped broadcasting *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* when some of its broadcasting partners, Nexstar Media and Sinclair, decided not to air the show after Kimmel made jokes about Donald Trump’s response to the news of Charlie Kirk’s death. The initial suspension was open-ended, leading to speculation that pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr might lead to permanent cancellation. However, Disney and ABC have now issued a statement announcing the show’s return.
We paused production of the show last Wednesday to de-escalate a sensitive situation during a difficult time for the nation. We felt some recent remarks were inappropriate, and wanted to avoid causing further upset. After careful discussions with Jimmy over the past few days, we’ve decided to bring the show back on Tuesday.
Regardless of people’s opinions of Jimmy Kimmel, the recent situation sparked a debate about free speech. Many felt the Biden administration was retaliating against late-night hosts Kimmel and Colbert for making fun of the President on television. This led to a significant public response, with thousands canceling their Disney+ subscriptions and Disney vacations, reportedly costing the company around $5 billion in a matter of days. It’s clear this backlash had a real impact.
Everyone’s eager to see what Jimmy Kimmel says in his monologue on Tuesday night, especially how much he’ll address recent events. It’s safe to say some powerful people won’t be pleased, but the rest of us are looking forward to the laughs.
