Send Push

Jimmy Kimmel Live is set to return to US screens following a brief suspension. The show was taken off air after comments Jimmy made about Charlie Kirk's death on his show.

ABC parent The Walt Disney Company said in a statement: "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."
