Jimmy Kimmel Live! is set to return to the air on Tuesday after an indefinite suspension by ABC. The network, owned by Disney, announced the end of the suspension following “thoughtful conversations” with the host. The show was taken off the air last week due to Kimmel’s comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which sparked pressure from ABC affiliates and a federal regulator.
The decision to reinstate the show comes after a public outcry, with over 400 celebrities signing an open letter in support of Kimmel, condemning the suspension as a threat to free speech. The show will resume its regular late-night slot.
