Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday

Jimmy Kimmel will have more to say on late-night TV.

Disney and ABC will bring the comedian back to its schedule starting 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."

Matt Drudge's site has a big headline "Disney Defies Trump".

I hope this does doesn't indicate they're going to renew the Son of Doctor Who reboot.

Nothing to do with Hulu and Disney+ being cancelled on mass by peed off consumers.

What, that everyone that claims we live under a Fascist is a liar?

Every normal person knows this already.

Charlie Kirk knows you won't watch Kimmel but a day or two; you still watching Colbert? Nah... because they are boring as F**k!

For the past few days, the narrative has been the Trump controlled FCC forced this.

Now, It's a middle finger to the Trump controlled FCC?

"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."

Isn't it possible Disney & ABC was telling the truth?

I'm not going to watch Jimmy Kimmel.

I'm not boycotting it or anything, it's just that the reception isn't very good on the TV in your mom's bedroom.

Excellent as now that biased left-leaning, pro-Dem 'wannabe news' company will continue to lose money in that time-slot....

FYI: From GOOGLE AI:

"Kimmel's viewership [from Google AI: "In September 2025, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" averaged around 1.1 million total viewers."

Meanwhile 'back at the ranch:

"In the second quarter of 2025, Greg Gutfeld's program Gutfeld! averaged 3.289 million total viewers, making it the most-watched late-night program on television during that period, significantly surpassing broadcast competitors like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This strong performance continued into July 2025, with an average of about 3.1 million viewers." : )

Just yesterday his viewership was zero.

He was betrayed by those he was close to.

Persecuted for his beliefs.

Publicly crucified to serve as a cautionary tale to his followers.

Then, by divine grace, he was resurrected.

The people rejoiced.

Needless to say, I'm referring to Jimmy Kimmel.

This thread is light.

It's because it sort of hurt the fascism theory.

I'm guilty of it. I believed the FCC commissioner comments were the main reason. ABCs affiliate's merger deal was the leverage.

But....is it?

It now appears ABC was merely reacting to what they felt would be a huge fallout from its viewers over Kimmel's comments.

Democrats React to Jimmy Kimmel's Return From Suspension
www.newsweek.com

... Democrats, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, reacted to the news Monday afternoon that Jimmy Kimmel is being reinstated to host his ABC late-night show.

Some took shots at Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, who publicly warned that broadcasters airing content like Kimmel's could face regulatory review, a statement critics argued was intended to pressure networks into compliance.

Why It Matters

The decision to pull Kimmel from the air came as national debate on political memorials, free-speech protections and responses to political violence followed conservative activist Charlie Kirk's September 10 assassination. ...

What To Know

Newsom posted to X on Monday in reaction to the move, "Thank you to everyone but @BrendanCarrFCC. This is a win for free speech everywhere."

Democratic influencer Harry Sisson wrote on X, "BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel's show will return on September 23rd! Disney and ABC were terrified of the boycotts and they caved to the people. Your voice is effective. Huge win!"

He said in a separate post, "MAGA is in total shambles over Jimmy Kimmel getting reinstated. The boycotts worked and they hate it!"

Chris Jackson, a Democratic Party activist, posted, "Kimmel is back! Cry more, Donald! He said in a separate post, "Let this be a warning to every spineless executive thinking about caving to MAGA threats: the other side pays your salaries too -- if not more. Don't forget who's really keeping your lights on." ...
