Breaking: Disney Announces ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ To Return Tuesday

Disney has confirmed that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to air on Tuesday, less than a week after the program was suspended following backlash to comments Kimmel made about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

The company said it held discussions with the host before deciding to resume production.

ABC affiliates, including major station groups, had pulled the show last week after criticism from political figures and regulators.

Disney described the pause as a temporary step to ease tensions while it reviewed the controversy.

The company did not announce any format changes, and the program is expected to return to its regular schedule.

Media analysts say the swift decision highlights the pressure networks face in balancing political commentary with compliance and audience expectations. Jimmy Kimmel has not yet commented publicly on the show’s return.
