Sal Iacono says more unexpected details are forthcoming after Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension by ABC amid political pressure from the FCC chair and broadcaster backlash.
- ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 17 after Kimmel's comments about the 'MAGA gang' and Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative Charlie Kirk on September 10.

- Although ABC reversed the suspension Monday, employees remain uncertain about the show's future, while free speech advocates continue urging defense of constitutional rights nationwide.
