Walt Disney Co. said Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to the air on Tuesday, ending a suspension imposed following controversial remarks the ABC late-night host made about the assassination of Republican activist Charlie Kirk. “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,” Disney said in a statement. Kimmel will address the controversy when he returns to the stage, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified. He personally negotiated his return with Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger and Dana Walden, who oversees ABC as co-chair of entertainment at the company. The network pulled the show on Sept. 17, two days after Kimmel, 57, said conservatives were trying to score political points from the killing.
