'he returns'
Jimmy Kimmel to resume after host was canned over Charlie Kirk comments
SUMMARY
Jimmy Kimmel's talk show will return on Tuesday after a one-week suspension due to controversial comments. The remarks involved Charlie Kirk and accusations about MAGA supporters distancing themselves from Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson.
The Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, confirmed the show's comeback. Investigators stated that Robinson held left-wing views. Kimmel faced backlash for his comments but is expected to resume broadcasting shortly.
Disney: "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. 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."
This incident highlights the impact of social media on public figures and their statements. Check back for further updates on this developing story.
