Hours after 400 artists signed an ACLU letter in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, the late-night host’s ‘indefinite termination’ for propaganda surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination has been turned into a week’s vacation.
According to Variety, Disney and ABC are bringing the comedian back to its schedule Tuesday night.
“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,” the company said in a statement. “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.”
Of note, none of the Nexstar or Sinclair affiliates will carry the show.

Despite Kimmel’s return, it is not immediately clear if his show will be available across the entire country. Sinclair, for its part, had said that it would not go back to running Kimmel’s show on its stations until the late night host apologized for his comments, met with Sinclair representatives and made a donation to Turning Point, the organization that Kirk founded. Sinclair, it should be noted, owns the ABC station in the Washington, D.C., metro area, among other markets.

Kimmel’s show was pulled last Wednesday after the host said that Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson was ‘MAGA’ – when he’s very clearly not based on what we know. In response, FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke ABC affiliate licenses over the comments, which he described in a podcast interview with host Benny Johnson as “the sickest conduct possible.”
As The Blaze‘s Auron Macintyre opines: “ABC is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air because terrorism works in America.“

That's it, the message is terrorism is the only valid political action https://t.co/LHdS2i14ip

I would like to tell you that I am going to boycott Disney and ABC, but my family hasn’t watched them or tv in decades. They are NOT allowed in my house. They are and have been pure filth and lies. It does seem though that most cuckservatives still watch and aren’t offended by them lying to and gaslighting them. That’s a government educated retard for ya.
“Does Roseanne Barr get her show back too now?”
No one destroyed shit over her cancellation. So… no. No she doesn’t.
