Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

“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 statement says.

“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.”

    Kimmel didn’t make any “Charlie Kirk comments”

    He made fun of Trump for not giving a shit about Kirk’s death because he couldn’t get over his 8 year old equivalent impulse control to start bragging about the monstrosity they built on top of the Rose Garden at the White House.
