(CNN) — “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to ABC on Tuesday night, the network said Monday, ending a nearly week-long standoff over the late-night talk show. “Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return,” a Sinclair spokesperson told CNN. Sinclair’s conservative owners condemned Kimmel last week and contributed to ABC parent Disney’s decision to pull the show from the airwaves temporarily. Disney tried to explain its decision-making in a Monday afternoon statement announcing Kimmel’s return. 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.
