But two groups of ABC affiliates that denounced Kimmel last week said they would not carry his return. ABC, which suspended Kimmel's show last Wednesday following criticism of his comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, announced Monday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” would return after the network had “thoughtful conversations” with the host. Trump had hailed Kimmel's suspension, even inaccurately saying the show had been canceled. After pulling out of her planned performance at the premiere of Hulu's Lilith Fair documentary in protest over Kimmel's suspension, singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan will appear on Kimmel's show as the musical guest. Disney and ABC executives reportedly negotiated Kimmel's return for several days before announcing the resolution.
