"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." In his show-opening monologue last Monday, Kimmel said "the MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize this kid... as anything other than one of them." Sinclair, another media group that also yanked the show, said Monday it would not return it to the airwaves, despite Disney's announcement. "Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! "Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
