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 on Tuesday- less than a week after he was suspended 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.”
