Jimmy Kimmel is back! (With an asterisk.) After yesterday’s announcement, the late night host and his “Jimmy Kimmel live!” would return to the air waves tonight after Kimmel’s “indefinite” suspension In the wake of comments about Charlie Kirk last week (all told: only three episodes were canceled) we have a warning.
While “Jimmy Kimmel live!” Coming back Tuesday evening, September 23, which Walt Disney Company announced on Monday, NBC news reports The “Sinclair, a company that runs more than 35 ABC Member Member Bundry throughout the United States, said it would replace Kimmel with news programming.”
“As of Tuesday night, Sinclair will prevent ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Over our ABC -connected stations and replaces it with news programming.
Last week, local affiliate companies Nexstar and Sinclair started a firestorm when they stated that they would no longer broadcast “Jimmy Kimmel live! “From the publication of this article, Nexstar has not announced his plans for this evening.
While Sinclair originally announced that its subsidiary would send a tribute to Kirk instead of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, It didn’t happen. Instead, the Sinclair Affiliates broadcast episodes of “Celebrity Family Feud”, like most ABC Member Fores, instead.
Wednesday, September 17, ABC announced that they interrupted Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after a joke that Kimmel made on the air that many thought was insensitive and inflammatory in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
On Monday 14 September section of the show, Kimmel said under his monologue, “We had some new lowness during the weekend with the Maga gang who desperately tried to characterize this child who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything but one of them and with everything they can to get political points from it.” Many people felt that this remark suggested that Kirk’s alleged killer was stomach, which at present evidence does not suggest is the case.
Indieview noted in the aftermaths that Disney injured her own business interests by capitulating Trump. Kimmel was a serious investment in years and tens (if not hundreds of) million dollars.
The suspension led to the discussions about the status of freedom of speech in America and with serious criticism that was submitted from even conservative Republican senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul against the Trump administration for their obsession to press Kimmel from the air. Kimmel’s suspension resulted in protests from advocates of freedom of speech in front of his Hollywood studio and one ACLU letter that decorates his removal signed by 400 celebrities.
