Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.
“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,” the statement says.
“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. 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.”
I think you’re lionizing Kimmel a bit too much, he just said a few obvious jokes that was likely written by his writing staff. He didn’t say anything brave.
"we’re still trying to wrap our heads around the senseless murder of the popular podcaster and conservative activist Charlie Kirk yesterday… Some people are cheering this, which is something I won’t ever understand.”
Those who hate Trump and his rhetoric immediately understand why Nazi fascist deaths are celebrated. They don’t describe them as senseless while heaping unnecessary praise on them. “Popular activist”? How about racist fascist propagandist?
He’ll toe the line after this correction. Ping me with his return monologue if I’m wrong.

I’ve watched it. He described Kirk as a young man, choked up while pronouncing violence is never an answer, and praised Howard Stern as a role model of his.
You think that’s brave in the face of Nazis?
And talked shit about the administration the whole time, which is what this was about in the first place.
Yet he went on and on about how wonderful the Nazis in his life are and how much he loves and looks up to them.
You felt it was adequate? You were satisfied just because he made fun of Trump and his administration?
Normalizing peace with Nazis and denouncing violence as a solution isn’t brave, would have been better to just be quiet. The country needs a revolution, not normalizing hanging out and loving Nazis. Cut the cancer out, these people need to be cast out of society, not praised and consoled when their own actions catch up to them.
First they came for the communists and all that… When they come to you, they’ll be no one left because you decided to have dinner parties with the Nazis.
