ABC announced Monday that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" would return Tuesday. The show was pulled last week following comments from Kimmel about the death of Charlie Kirk.

New York

Jimmy Kimmel will return to his late-night show on ABC after a suspension that Disney, ABC's parent company, said was intended to avoid further inflaming a tense national situation. The decision followed discussions between Disney and Kimmel, with the company ultimately choosing to resume production.

The suspension drew criticism and debate across the political spectrum, with some lawmakers questioning the role of government influence after comments from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Carr later clarified that the suspension was not due to federal government pressure but related to ratings. Supporters of Kimmel have protested the suspension, framing it as a free speech issue.

What to know about Jimmy Kimmel's return to ABC

Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air tomorrow night. Disney, the parent company of ABC, said in a statement that we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. 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. Hours before Disney's announcement, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said Kimmel's suspension had nothing to do with government influence. Jimmy Kimmel is in the situation that he's in because of his ratings, not because of anything that's happened at the federal government level. Those comments were a departure from what Carr said last week. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead. Since Kimmel was pulled, pushback has come from all parts of the political spectrum. Republican Senator Rand Paul. Absolutely inappropriate. Brendan Carr's got no business weighing in on this. And Republican Senator Ted Cruz likened the FCC chair's words to a gangster movie. That's right out of Goodfellas. That's right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, nice bar you have here. It'd be a shame if something happened to it. And supporters of Kimmel came out once again in front of his studios to voice their opposition against what they call an assault on free speech. This is not a partisan issue, it is an American issue. Democratic Congresswoman Laura Friedman represents California's 30th district, which includes Hollywood. And what we're seeing is this administration being willing to use their power to try to threaten broadcasters who don't agree with them. It's unclear if ABC has been in communication with the FCC and what rules, if any, Kimmel might have to abide by. While the FCC chairman has reframed the suspension as one motivated by low ratings, one thing is clear. A lot of eyes will be on Kimmel when he returns to the theater behind me tomorrow night. Jonathan Bigliotti, thank you.
