"I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! complained Trump in a Truth Social post: Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his talent was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE."
"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, said ABC parent company Disney in a statement. 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."
President Donald Trump threatened legal action against ABC after the network reinstated Jimmy Kimmel and posted criticisms on Truth Social. Trump called Kimmel unfunny, accused the show of promoting "99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," and suggested the reinstatement could amount to an illegal campaign contribution. Trump referenced a prior dispute with ABC that yielded $16 million. ABC parent company Disney suspended production of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Kimmel made remarks about the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk to avoid further inflaming a tense, emotional moment. After conversations with Kimmel, Disney announced the show's return a week later.
