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 kinda wish Kimmel had told them to get fucked and went somewhere else, or started his own podcast.
You mean conversations with your lawyers. I’m sure Kimmel was lawyering up for breach of contract.
Kimmel would have been okay, but by some estimates there are as many as 200 staff members out of their job, and he’d never be able to take all of them with him. As cathartic it would have been to see him levave Disney, staying was the best option for his team.
Meanwhile, over at CBS, a similar staff are all out of jobs.
And making it even harder would’ve been the fact that he makes it well known a significant portion of the people working on his show are members of his family.
I agree. “Yeah Disney, this is the consequence of your actions. Get fucked. Enjoy sucking Trump’s dick.” Would have been much better.
