Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.
“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 statement says.
“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.”
Kimmel didn’t even talk about Kirk’s death outside of stating that the right is trying their best to milk it as much as possible which is saying nothing about Kirk. He never commented on Kirk as a person, at least not as far as I know of.
Exactly. This was a non-apology and Kimmel wasn’t the one who needed talking to, I hope he doesn’t tone down his monologues one iota.
Keep the boycott on.
He actually put out a message before this saying that it was a horrible thing that happened and he and his family were sending their deepest sympathies to the Kirk family.
