Greeted by a loud, raucous audience in his Los Angeles studio but speaking to a wary, even hostile, segment of viewers at home, the late-night host returned to ABC on Tuesday night with a difficult needle to thread. He’d faced a frustrating six-day stretch off the air, after threats from FCC chairman Brendan Carr pressured Disney (ABC’s parent company) to “indefinitely” suspend “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” leaving Kimmel and his hundreds of staff members in indefensible yet very real limbo.
Public outrage was swift and loud — almost as if Americans don’t like the notion of losing their very first constitutional amendment — with formal condemnations from major news and entertainment organizations, protesters marching outside Disney’s Burbank studios, and the general public boycotting the company by canceling Disney+.
Still, debate was split over whether “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” would survive.
