LOS ANGELES (WDNews) — ABC says it will bring back Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday following a brief suspension of the late-night show.
The Walt Disney Company said the pause in production was made “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. “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 suspended Kimmel indefinitely last week after remarks he made in a monologue about conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed on September 10.
The network did not say if Kimmel would address the controversy on his return.
