Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> was reportedly about to deliver another controversial monologue when his show was suspended by ABC this week.<\/p>\n According to celebrity.land<\/a>, which spoke to an unnamed source familiar with the situation, Kimmel was preparing to deliver a monologue on Wednesday evening addressing the backlash he had received for another monologue that week about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Wednesday monologue was described by celebrity.land\u2019s source as \u201cvery hot,\u201d and would have reportedly targeted President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/strong> MAGA base.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Jimmy went on the air, there would have been no way back from that monologue for Jimmy,\u201d the source said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want that. Everyone deeply values him and wants him to come back. But he has to take down the temperature.\u201d<\/p>\n After publishing the source\u2019s quote on Thursday, celebrity.land stealth-edited its article, removing the first half.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone deeply values him and wants him to come back. But he has to take down the temperature,\u201d read the quote following celebrity.land\u2019s edit.<\/p>\n The decision to suspend Kimmel\u2019s show was reportedly made by Disney CEO Bob Iger<\/strong> and Disney Entertainment Co-Chair Dana Walden<\/strong> \u201cin hopes of protecting Kimmel and the Disney brand from accelerating the controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n The author of the article, celebrity.land Entertainment Correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister<\/strong>, previously suggested<\/a> on Wednesday that it was unlikely\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> would return to television anytime soon.<\/p>\n \u201cMany people are saying that even though it\u2019s not a cancellation at this moment, it\u2019s hard to imagine the show coming back,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is not about one comment about Charlie Kirk\u2019s killer, this is a decade of Jimmy Kimmel bashing Trump. They\u2019ve been going back and forth for years, so it\u2019s really hard to imagine Trump rolling out the red carpet and saying, \u201cHey, you\u2019ve taken a break, why don\u2019t you come back on the air?’\u201d<\/p>\n Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> was pre-empted<\/a> on Wednesday after ABC received backlash over Kimmel\u2019s comments suggesting that the suspect in Kirk\u2019s assassination, Tyler Robinson<\/strong>, was a right-wing Trump supporter, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.<\/p>\n Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr<\/strong> accused<\/a> Kimmel of attempting to \u201cmislead\u201d the public with his comments and had threatened to take action against Kimmel\u2019s broadcasters.<\/p>\n The post Kimmel Was Reportedly About to Give Controversial Monologue When He Was Suspended: \u2018He Has To Take Down the Temperature\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Screengrab via ABC Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was reportedly about to deliver another controversial monologue when his show was suspended by ABC this week.
