Jimmy Kimmel’s show comes back after ABC stopped him for comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The Walt Disney Company issued a statement on Monday confirming “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” It will air on Tuesday.
“Last Wednesday, we decided to suspend production of the show, avoiding further inflammatory conditions that were tense in our country’s emotional moments,” the company explained in a statement.
“This is a decision we made because we felt that some of the comments were poorly timed and therefore insensitive. We spent our last day having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
The Kimmel-enamed show was suspended last week after discussing suspected Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson in his monologue.
“The Magazine gang is desperately trying to characterise the child who killed Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them, and they are doing everything they can to score political points from there,” Kimmel said at the time.
He then tore President Donald Trump to talk about the White House renovation when reporters asked him to comment on Kirk’s death.
“He is in the fourth stage of grief: Construction,” Kimmel joked. “This is not a way to grieve someone’s murder that adults call friends. This is how a four-year-old laments the goldfish.”
FCC committee member Brendan Kerr immediately threatened to begin an official investigation into Kimmel’s remarks. TV station conglomerate Nexstar Media issued a statement saying it would draw a Kimmel show.
ABC has quickly announced that the TV show will be “preempted indefinitely.”
Following Kimmel’s expulsion, Trump worked on the true society to celebrate Kimmel being “cancelled”, calling the move “great American news.”
Kimmel, 57, is reportedly “vivid” about getting the boots.
“Jimmy is upset with the decision to pause him and the show, and he is actively looking for ways to get out of the contract, so he’s not going to downplay this,” a source told the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Kimmel’s cousin Sal Iacono shared early on Monday on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” and that “some bombs” are still coming, but I think the TV personality is “ok.”
