Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are reportedly in talks to put his late-night talk show back on air, as confirmed in a new report.
The comedian’s businesses and legal reps are taking part in some very deep discussions with Disney and ABC, trying to hammer out a compromise that would enable Jimmy Kimmel Live to resume its 23rd season, as shared by insiders at Vanity Fair.
Whether the sparring parties are close to any resolution is unknown, leaving Kimmel and his show in a serious limbo following some offensive comments he made this week regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.point 297 |

Neither Kimmel’s team nor Disney’s team has immediately responded to the Post’s request for a comment. ABC warned that Kimmel, in the past, tried hard to steer away from political comments, especially anything linked to Donald Trump.
For now, Kimmel’s show is on an indefinite hiatus, and many in the industry don’t agree with the decision for its long-term suspension.
