In a dazzling burst of corporate calmness on a definitely-not-tense day, The Walt Disney Company officially hit pause on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"—because apparently, America’s emotional rollercoaster needs a TV timeout. The exact wording? They suspended Kimmel 'to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country.' Disney knows precise timing: choose the middle of a deja vu storm to yank your late-night entertaining trampoline. No dates or dollar amounts because comedy gold transcends that; still, this magical act comes straight from the headquarters of childhood fantasies, proving even Mickey can get cold feet when the vibes get spicy.
