ABC Reinstates 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' After Controversy
ABC News has reinstated 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after temporarily suspending it due to controversy surrounding host Jimmy Kimmel's comments about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel addressed the remarks upon his return.
The decision to bring back the show was made by Disney, ABC's parent company, following intense discussions with Kimmel. They chose to resume broadcasting on the subsequent Tuesday to prevent further tension.
Kimmel admitted he initially believed his show would not return after learning of his suspension in a late afternoon phone call from ABC executives. His remarks had sparked significant backlash, leading to the temporary halt in broadcasting.
Colbert's show, 'The Late Show', is set to conclude after its current season ends in May 2026, citing financial reasons. Meanwhile, Kimmel's show continues, with the host addressing the controversy and expressing his thoughts on the matter.
