Jimmy Kimmel comeback faces major blow as ABC affiliate refuses to air show!

For decades, late-night television has been a cornerstone of American entertainment, with hosts blending comedy, social commentary, and cultural critique. Jimmy Kimmel, one of the genre’s most recognizable figures, has long been at the center of that stage. But his recent return has been anything but smooth. What was supposed to be a carefully orchestrated comeback after a temporary suspension has now turned into a showdown between network powerhouses and affiliate stations, with viewers caught in the middle.

The Suspension and Disney’s Defense

Earlier this year, ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from its schedule after backlash erupted over Kimmel’s comments regarding a recent national tragedy. Critics accused him of being insensitive and failing to recognize the weight of the moment. In response, Disney—the parent company of ABC—announced that Kimmel’s suspension would be temporary.

The official statement framed the move as a way of giving the nation “space” during a sensitive time rather than an outright cancellation. Disney executives emphasized that the host had acknowledged the controversy internally and that conversations with Kimmel and ABC leadership ultimately convinced them he should return to the airwaves. A date was set: the following Tuesday, audiences would once again see Kimmel back behind his desk.
