US EditionUS TV Host Jimmy Kimmel Has Show Reinstated
The View discussed ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel over assassination remarks, highlighting debates on censorship and free speech involving political figures and media critics.
- On Monday, The View addressed Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after holding back all last week, and ABC announced the show's return beginning September 23.
- Kimmel's suspension stemmed from comments he made last week about the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, prompting ABC/Disney, Nexstar Media, and Sinclair Broadcasting to pull the program.
- Explaining the delay, the hosts said they waited to see if Kimmel would respond before commenting, with Goldberg declaring `No one silences us` and adding `And from each other` on Monday.
- The backlash included more than 500 actors, comedians, directors, musicians and writers joining an American Civil Liberties Union open letter, while protests hit Disney's Burbank lot and Disney+ cancellations affected The Walt Disney Company’s stock.
- Regulatory and antitrust questions arose as FCC chair Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel's comments and the planned Nexstar and Tegna merger could exceed the 39% ownership limit.
