Jimmy Kimmel will return to his late-night show on Tuesday, The Walt Disney Co., the parent company of ABC, said in a statement on Monday.

"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. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive," the company said in a statement. "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."

The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News.
