"On Monday, over 400 actors, musicians and creatives signed a letter alongside the ACLU to pressure Disney over Kimmel's suspension. Prominent media figures such as Cynthia Nixon and Howard Stern said they would cancel their Disney+ subscriptions. "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," Disney said in a statement on Monday announcing the show's return."
""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." What to watch: Kimmel has been privately negotiating his return with Disney for days, but has yet to make any public comments about the incident since his show was pulled off air."
