ABC has said that ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ would return to its airwaves on Tuesday. “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, which owns ABC, said. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and insensitive.”
Disney did not say whether all ABC affiliates, some of which baulked at carrying ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ last week, would carry Tuesday’s show. At least one group said it would not broadcast it. ABC had removed Kimmel “indefinitely” last week after a top Trump regulator and many conservatives said he inaccurately described the politics of the man accused of fatally shooting the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
