ABC has just relented and is bringing back Jimmy Kimmel to late night after they suspended him last week over his lies about the Charlie Kirk assassin and his attacks on MAGA.
His show will be returning tomorrow night:
Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show will return to ABC’s airwaves on Tuesday, nearly a week after it was pre-empted amid criticism of the host’s remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“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 said in a statement Monday. “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,” Disney added.
They don’t mention the two big affiliates who demanded an apology before returning him to air. Nor did they mention the details of this agreement. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow night if he’s even remotely concerned about his comments at this point.
