The suspension came after Jimmy Kimmel made controversial and ill-timed comments during a monologue about the alleged assassin of charlie Kirk, drawing criticism from the public and ABC affiliates. ABC stated the suspension was to avoid inflaming tensions during a sensitive time, but after discussions with Kimmel and Disney, the decision was made to resume the show. The controversy sparked political reactions, with some falsely attributing the suspension to the Trump administration. The show has experienced declining ratings over the years amid changes in media consumption.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>ABC&rsquo;s &ldquo;Jimmy Kimmel Live&rdquo; will return on Tuesday, less than one week after the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/snl-finally-takes-aim-at-biden-mocks-his-af1-stumbles-cheat-sheets\/\" title=\"SNL Finally Takes Aim At Biden, Mocks His AF1 Stumbles, Cheat Sheets\">late-night comedy<\/a> show<\/a> was indefinitely taken off the air by the network.<\/p>\n<p>The return of Kimmel&rsquo;s far-left program was the result of &ldquo;thoughtful conversations&rdquo; with its parent company, Disney, <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/jimmy-kimmel-returns-late-night-disney-tuesday-1236525670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to Variety.<\/p>\n<p>ABC provided a statement to the outlet, which read:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.
