Sinclair Agrees to Stop Preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! After Failing to Get Disney to Budge [View all]

Sinclair has agreed to stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! and will allow the show to resume airing on its ABC affiliates, the company announced Friday afternoon.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show was indefinitely suspended by ABC after comments the comedian made about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” said Kimmel on the Sept. 15 episode.
