Jimmy Kimmel’s Return Has Everyone Talking. So Did These 4 Other Late-Night Controversies.
Kamala Harris credited public pressure for reversing Jimmy Kimmel's suspension on ABC after six days, highlighting the influence of a global boycott led by liberals and entertainers.
- On Tuesday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel will return to ABC after a six-day suspension, with Disney saying it `spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy`.
- The suspension followed a September 15 monologue in which Kimmel criticized some Republicans and described the suspected assassin as 'one of them', and FCC Chair Brendan Carr publicly criticized ABC before the network pre-empted the show.
- By Monday afternoon, more than 400 celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Meryl Streep, had signed an open letter denouncing ABC as protests erupted outside Kimmel's Hollywood studio.
- Harris framed the reversal as a triumph of consumer pressure, saying `We saw the power of the people over the last few days, and it spoke volumes and it moved a decision in the right direction.`
- Despite the return, institutional responses continued with 38 ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair and some Nexstar Media networks boycotting, while Senator Chuck Schumer and Anna M. Gomez, FCC commissioner, applauded Disney and warned about government intimidation.
