Disney caves, reinstates Jimmy Kimmel

[Oliver the Second]

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' to return to ABC



Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from ABC is over.

On Monday, Disney, the parent company of the ABC television network, announced that the late-night host would resume taping new episodes of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday, less than a week after he was pulled off the air for comments related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

"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," Disney said in a statement to KTLA. "It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive."

The statement continued, "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."

ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel followed a remark the host made about political reaction to Kirk's shooting, and alleged gunman Tyler Robinson, 20, during his opening monologue last Monday.

Meh, I bet his ratings will cave and he'll be off the air within a year. Karma is a bitch.

The only people that can still stomach his show are the worst TDS afflicted leftists.

I read an article yesterday that said Disney World's attendance is way down. The Liberal writing the article blamed it on DeSantis' Florida as opposed to their woke policies.  The dishonesty in the press is stunning.

I quit going to diznee parks a few years ago because of their faggit love. The high prices dont bother me in the least BTW. If diznee wasnt so morally bankrupt, I'd still go. Instead, I go to Universal even though they arent a whole lot better. They dont ramrod that fukin faggit celebration like diznee plus they've invested way more in rides whereas diznee just built more hotels.

[Prof Emeritus at Fawk U]

Meh, I'm not surprised.  I doubt Kimmel will dial back the stupid.

[Brent]

Meh, I'm not surprised.  I doubt Kimmel will dial back the stupid.

One hundred percent on both.

Sinclair says they wont air it.

And he owns a shitload of ABC stations or something?

Sinclair is a media group which operates 38 ABC affiliates in its portfolio of nearly 300 television stations, one of which is WJLA which serves the Washington DC metro area. Their competition Nexstar (responsible for 28 ABC affiliates) have joined Sinclair, announcing their decision to scrap Kimmel in preference for local news reports. All told it represents around one fifth of the terrestrial US TV stations Kimmel was on.

Both groups had been complaining about Kimmel's ratings being total ass in conservative markets prior to Kimmel's comments re: Charlie Kirk. Nexstar has since doubled down on their decision to air local news instead of Kimmel irrespective of ABC bringing him back. Not that is cuts much ice with your (very) average leftie lunatic with a room temperature IQ who can be convinced that a network that has spent the last ten years demonizing Trump and his supporters would obligingly start yanking late night show hosts off the air because Donald Trump told them to.

I would call them retards, but that would be overly mean to retards.
