Jimmy Kimmel’s Show to Return to ABC on Tuesday Night

Jimmy Kimmel is coming back.

ABC said on Monday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” would return to its airwaves on Tuesday, ending an impasse that began last week.

“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 Walt Disney Company, ABC’s parent company, said in a statement.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive,” the statement said. “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 network had removed Mr. Kimmel “indefinitely” last week after a top Trump regulator and many conservatives said he inaccurately described the politics of the man accused of fatally shooting the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The subsequent suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” almost immediately morphed into a flashpoint for free speech in America.

And today I see they've announced that the nabobs at Disney are raising prices across the board for their streaming services — Disney +, Disney + Premium, Hulu, ESPN, and the various bundles of these.   Then next week be ready for them to jack up the prices at the the Happiest Expensivre-est Place on Earth, just in time for the winter vacation season.

Trust me — in the long run, they're not going to sweat the couple billion that the Kimmel kerfuffle may have cost them in the short term.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
