"The Jimmy Kimmel Live Show" will resume airing on Tuesday, ending the situation where the controversial comments made by the famous talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on the shooting incident involving Republican activist Charlie Kirk led to the program being suspended by Walt Disney. ABC's parent company announced, "Over the past few days, we have had in-depth discussions with Jimmy, and then we made the decision to resume airing on Tuesday." According to an anonymous source, Kimmel will address the controversy when he returns to the stage. He personally negotiated the resumption of the show with Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden. Two days after the 57-year-old Kimmel accused conservatives of trying to gain political advantage from the Kirk shooting, ABC took down the talk show on September 17th.
