Are they capitulating to the woke mob, or was this always the plan?
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.
As a reminder, Jimmy Kimmel's ratings trail behind Stephen Colbert, and Stephen Colbert's show will be wrapping up soon because it is losing CBS a whopping 50 million a year.
In fact, Kimmel's audience was down 43% from earlier in 2025, averaging only 1.1 million viewers in August 2025.
Is ABC really going to bring back a huge financial liability because Barack Obama and a bunch of liberal elites got mad? Did advertisers think a week-long suspension was enough? Did the woke executives at Disney not actually find Kimmel's lies about Charlie Kirk's assassination offensive?
Will Kimmel even be required to apologize?
What a huge nothingburger.
The deca-millionaire celebrity who rose to fame on the "Man Show" and now spends all his time making fun of Republicans had to go a measly week without being on national TV —
— and that was somehow worse than a man getting assassinated in cold blood in front of his wife and kids.
Enjoy that bed you've made, ABC/Disney.
