Jimmy Kimmel's ABC late-night show was temporarily suspended in mid-September 2025 after comments about Charlie Kirk, with ABC/Disney stating it would pause amid discussions and regulatory concerns. The network later announced his return to air on a Tuesday, though some ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar and Sinclair planned to preempt the program with local news in the interim. This sequence was tied to FCC scrutiny and political pressure at the time.[1][3][5]

By late September 2025 (and into fall 2025), Disney/ABC indicated thoughtful discussions with Kimmel led to a decision to reinstate the show, and ABC News confirmed the return was set for Tuesday night with ongoing consideration for affiliate preemptions in certain markets.[2][3][4]
