Jimmy Kimmel in conversations with Disney to resume the late night show after prohibition on remarks on Charlie Kirk’s murder: Report

TV host Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are in conversation to resume his late night program, which was brought to an indefinite stopping due to the controversial remarks related to US President Donald Trump and conservative leader Charlie Kirk’s death, according to a report of variety that is aware of the development. Kimmel’s businesses and legal representatives are engaged in detailed negotiations with Disney and ABC, trying to reach a compromise that will allow “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to continue his 23rd season. Whether the two parties are close to reaching a resolution remains unclear. Kimmel is reportedly concerned about what a permanent cancellation would mean for his crew in Los Angeles, which is working on the show, many of which are still trying to recover financially from the actors’ strike in 2023, the report states. ABC has previously advised Kimmel to comment on political comments, especially those who criticize President Trump. “I don’t think their political beliefs have mine in violation of mine, but if you want a big audience, you don’t want to offend many people,” Kimmel told Howie Mandel on Thursday. The TV host’s program is currently on an indefinite break following its controversial remarks about Kirk’s murder. What is the controversy about? The 57-year-old comedian made the claim on Monday during his opening monologist that alleged killer Tyler Robinson was a proponent of Donald Trump, despite the authorities who stated that he had a ‘leftist ideology’. “We hit some new lows over the weekend, while the Maga gang desperately tried to characterize this child who killed Charlie Kirk than anything other than one of them and did everything in their power to achieve political points from it,” Kimmel said. After 30 years on the air, the show was finally followed on Wednesday, and Kimmel has so far apologized to numerous requests. FCC chairman Brendan Carr warned Thursday that TV networks holding licenses, such as ABC, NBC and CBS, have a duty to serve the public interest. He argued that Kimmel did not by “deceiving the American public directly”.
