'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to the air Tuesday —Disney


Disney said that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will return to the air on Tuesday after it had suspended the talk-show host following threats by the chair of the Federal Communications Commission over comments the host had made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

After having conversations with the ABC late-night host Kimmel, "we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday," Disney said.

ABC pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live" off air on September 18.

Kirk, 31, was killed with a single bullet as he answered an audience member's question at a campus event in Utah organized by Turning Point. A 22-year-old technical college student has been charged with Kirk's murder, and investigators say he told his romantic partner in text messages that he had killed Kirk because he had "enough of his hate." —REUTERS
