Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled off the air last week, prompting numerous conversations about free speech and the Trump administration striking fear into television networks. Jimmy Kimmel is set to return this week, though it will not entirely be business as usual. “Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return,” a spokesperson for Sinclair told CNN. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), threatened networks to reprimand Kimmel.
