Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to his late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, after a brief suspension. The suspension followed controversial comments Kimmel made regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his monologue, Kimmel criticized the political exploitation of the tragedy, which led to backlash from conservative circles and prompted ABC to suspend the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation Following discussions with Kimmel, Disney announced the show's return, stating that the decision was made after thoughtful conversations. However, not all ABC affiliates are on board; Sinclair Broadcast Group has announced it will not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its 39 ABC affiliate stations, citing the need for an apology and a donation before reconsidering.
