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.”

    The very sad thing is that I don’t think this absolute fool isn’t a troll at all. I think they mean what they say, which is undeniably worse

      Nah, I do think they’re just saying whatever will get a rise out of people.

      Either way, the only winning move is to ignore them.
