In many cities, Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the airways wasn’t happening as ABC affiliate owners Nexstar and Sinclair are refusing to air the show. Sinclair and Nextar both indicated that Kimmel's show could return. People in Washington, DC and Nashville, for example, can only watch the show on streaming or YouTube.

The president has been a longtime critic of Kimmel, previously celebrating his suspension and suggesting that the late-night host had been "fired" for good

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million dollars," the president wrote on Truth Social. "This one sounds even more lucrative"

In his comeback, Jimmy Kimmel struck a necessary tone of sorrow for his controversial comments about Charlie Kirk - without saying sorry - and went on to make clear he would refuse to be cowed by his critics, chiefly Donald Trump.

Pres. Trump wasn't too happy about ABC's choice to bring back "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on-air following a brief suspension over Charlie Kirk comments.

Ahead of the return of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Tuesday night, the podcaster shared his thoughts on the late night show's brief suspension.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!' returns to TV Tuesday, and despite claims from President Donald Trump and FCC chair Brendan Carr, Kimmel's ratings were not the reason for his suspension by Disney, according to an ET source.

Kimmel’s post came just hours before he was set to make his comeback. Disney announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would resume airing Tuesday, only days after the show was pulled amid threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and MAGA outrage over comments the comedian made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
