Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show is returning to the air this week, Walt Disney Company said on Sept. 22.
“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 company said in a statement to news outlets. “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.”
A Disney spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.

He should read a statement that he was wrong about the political beliefs of the alledged shooter - that he was not a Trump supporter. Many Dems believe that he was a Trump supporter. It makes no sense that a Trump supporter would kill someone who is conservative and who helped Trump win the election.

'Thoughtful' conversations? Not with Jimmy - that'd require a brain.

Yep #3, absolutely would require having a brain, for both sides!

Rhetorical question, but do you think any Charlie Kirk supporters will fire guns into the windows of ABC affiliates?

Has Sinclair agreed? It's time to boycott the advertisers.

Read this morning how Disney is in an even worse financial situation than ever. They have to be going broke. What passes for brains among these 'business' people who run large businesses or corporation? If your product won't sell, change it, improve it or let it go and sell something else.

As it was last week, this is a business decision. Disney will either reap the benefits or suffer the consequences. Admittedly, they have not made too many good business decisions of late.

I very much doubt that that vapid puke has had a “thoughtful conversation” in his life.

I am quite sorry that ABC capitulated to the mob. I hope the affiliates keep Kimmel of the screen. The one person I hope who keeps his yapping mouth shut is Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, whose foolish interference in the public disgust with Kimmel opened the door for Democrats to falsely claim Trump axed Kimmel.

I will watch for the sole purpose of creating a list of sponsors that I will boycott.

So, this is Disney formally apologizing the best way they can, but it will be imperative Jimmy Kimmel apologizes for saying things that weren't true and that he knows he needs to be more prepared in the future.
Sadly, the Hollywood group who pushed for the boycotts will seem emboldened that they forced Disney to kneel to their demands.
What Disney needs to realize is they can always find and make talent, they don't need the rabid dogs currently barking and roaming Hollywood.

Kimmel's suspension is looking more and more like a walk off the stage publicity stunt, theatrics performed periodically by The View.

Good. With all the attention on Kimmel now, more people will tune in and see what a witless, hateful hack he is. There's no way he'll put on a better show, no way. Gird your loins for humiliation, Jimmy.

Ditto, #14.
Oh, and I hope they have cleared all of the nearby rooftops.
I've heard the Dems saying that it's acceptable to murder anyone who's opinions they hate. They just never know who they may have offended.

Boycott Kimmel's major advertisers: Allstate, McDonald's, Starbucks, Kit Kat, Venmo, JC Penney, Smirnoff, Instacart, AT&T, Apple, Impossible Foods, Venmo, Credit Karma, DiGiorno Pizza. And any other moronic corporations who jump on board this week.

#8 When you offend and even despise your 50+ year long key customer base, middle class parents with younger kids, in favor of childless grown ups with a weird Disney obsession, you deserve to go bankrupt!
Cracker Barrel essentially gave the middle finger to it's loyal customer base hoping to secure a bunch of new hipper customer the woke corporate leaders liked better. We all saw how that ended up.
As for Jimmy, he has never been funny. Late night hasn't been funny since Leno. From Letterman on it has all been pure snark, bullying, and elitist condescension toward all us hayseed rubes out in TV land. May they all crash and burn.

Disney-ABC has too much gall for me. I'm completely gone. As far as I'm concerned, they can twist slowly, slowly in the wind until they go off the airwaves for the last time. Bad people. Evil people.

And a big shout-out to Rachel Zegler for playing no small role in weakening Disney in so many ways.

#8 asks "What passes for brains among these 'business' people who run large businesses or corporation?"
When I was studying mechanical engineering, the word around the university was that the engineering studies were the hardest curricula at the school, and business administration was the easiest. If this was, and is, true, then we have the dumbest people in the university systems graduating and then going into management at these large corporations. Perhaps that goes part of the way to explaining the bad, short-sighted decisions that these companies' management so often make.
I wager that if the truth be known, the managers at Disney just called the managers at Budweiser and said "Hold my Beer!"

Thanks for that list, #22, it will save me from watching even one second of that moron. Ironically, I don't patronize any of them now. So Disney is resurrecting another one of their cartoon characters? I would say "that's a laugh" but there is nothing funny about him.

Very interesting information, #30. Anybody connected to the business world from about 1980 on remembers all of the new "miracle" ways you should use to manage your business and the hundreds of books written by people like Alvin Toffler, Jack Welch, Peter Drucker, etc. that made millions of dollars and finally gave HR departments something to do besides complying with Affirmative Action laws. Executives spent more time in internal classes than in running the business, which would try new methodologies until the next one came along. All they needed to do was follow one simple rule, "the customer is always right" and then put in a smart and honest day's work.
