Jimmy Kimmel's Comeback Tour: Disney's 'Oops, Maybe Not'
In a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, Jimmy Kimmel got yanked off ABC 'indefinitely' just days after lecturing the MAGA gang on September 15, 2025, about some messy murder drama involving Charlie Kirk — who wasn't actually the victim, but try telling that to FCC chair Brendan Carr, who called Kimmel's remarks 'sickest conduct possible.' Disney, sweating harder than a kid in a spelling bee, suspended the show Wednesday under pressure from Nexstar and Sinclair, two TV station giants with a $6.2 billion FCC deal on the line. After lectures, protests outside Disney Studios in Burbank, and Hollywood's late-night unity parade, Kimmel got the green light to return Tuesday, proving the only thing consistent here is chaos scheduled by the calendar.
