“Last Wednesday we decided to suspend production of the show to avoid further escalating the tense situation in our country.”
“This decision was made because we felt that some comments were ill-timed and insensitive.”
“We spent the last few days having constructive conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we decided to bring the show back on Tuesday.”
Kimmel's show was suspended on Wednesday night, considering the backlash to his controversial monologue about the death of Charlie Kirk. It was reported that the decision to pull the show was made just minutes before filming was set to begin.
“Events unfolded very quickly. Word reached individual stations around 3 PM that Jimmy would be pulled, and this caused panic among the station managers,” a source shared.
“Jimmy and the team were preparing to film when news broke widely at 3:45 PM, and that's how the team learned about it. They were shocked.”
It is noted that filming usually starts at 4:30 PM. The source added that Disney/ABC employees had been feeling tension in recent weeks due to the escalating situation.
Furthermore, the source reported that “ABC did not provide statements to affiliate stations for proper coverage of this story. This left some stations in a position where they had to decide not to cover Kimmel at all in their news.”
