How is this possible? We were told the fascist authoritarian Donald Trump had called ABC and personally had Jimmy Kimmel expelled from the airwaves.

But then, as we reported on Saturday, Variety was reporting that Kimmel and Disney were in negotiations to find a "compromise" where "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" could return to the air. Disney and Kimmel must have reached that compromise, as we're getting reports that Kimmel will be back on the air Tuesday night. We always knew is wasn't a question of if, but when.

The full statement reads:

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.  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.

"Thoughtful conversations with Jimmy." We're certain he's a changed man. At least now, people can stop firing bullets into ABC television affiliates.

We wonder what some of the conditions of that "compromise" were … that Kimmel would agree to tone down the political rhetoric? Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts. Actually, we won't, because we won't be watching.

Agreed.

It was officially an "indefinite suspension."

The New York Post reported that Kimmel's future with ABC was up in the air as the close of his contract approached, well before the shameless statements that got him suspended in the first place.

Exactly. Will he drop politics or double down on his remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination? Someone tune in to see, because we won't be going to.

Here's to all the brave liberals who canceled their Disney+ subscriptions in protest.
