Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the statement says.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. 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.”

    Yep, single-handedly.

    No, of course not. But ALL corporations understand that one person that takes the time to write a coherent, logical letter, and doesn’t threaten sexual violence against their daughters and elderly relatives, represent, and are speaking for, a very large number of people who are just sitting at home, pissed off and talking to their families.

    Get enough of those letters, and the data analysis people in Marketing start getting extremely nervous. That’s what happened here. In fact, the walls crumbled so quickly, that they must have received an overwhelming amount of angry communications.
