Jimmy Kimmel Live will resume on Tuesday after Disney suspended production the previous Wednesday. Disney said the suspension aimed to avoid further inflaming a tense situation during an emotional moment for the country and described some comments as ill-timed and insensitive. Disney reported having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy Kimmel that led to the decision to return the show. The suspension followed an FCC chairman threat to pursue license revocations under a news-distortion policy. Conservatives accused Kimmel of misleading the public about a murder, and the suspension prompted public backlash and subscription cancellation threats against Disney services.
