Jimmy Kimmel’s show will return after censorship outrage

Here is a 180-word summary of the news article: Disney's late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is returning to the air after being pulled last week due to comments made by host Jimmy Kimmel about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Disney suspended the show's production, citing the comments as "ill-timed and insensitive" amid a tense political climate. The decision to suspend the show came after the FCC chairman threatened the operating licenses of broadcasters that aired Kimmel's remarks, putting pressure on Disney and major TV networks like Nexstar and Sinclair. Kimmel had said the "MAGA gang" was trying to characterize the person who killed Kirk as anything other than "one of them." The suspension sparked outrage among Democrats, free speech advocates, and celebrities who defended Kimmel. Disney has now decided to resume production after "thoughtful conversations," though it's unclear if all ABC affiliates will air the show. Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez praised Disney's decision, calling it a stand against the administration's "growing campaign of censorship and control." The FCC has not yet responded on whether it will take further action.
