400 celebrities sign letter standing up for Jimmy Kimmel
One week after the show was pulled from the Disney-owned network’s lineup in the wake of threats from the head of President Trump’s Federal Communications Commission.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” Disney said in a statement released around 12:30 p.m. Pacific time on Monday afternoon.
“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
