‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will return to ABC this September 23, after nearly a week off the air. Disney, ABC’s parent company, said it suspended the show following backlash over Kimmel’s remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
However, Sinclair, one of the largest owners of ABC affiliates, said it will continue to pull the show and air news instead. Kimmel is expected to address the controversy in his Tuesday night monologue.
