Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show will be reinstated after being suspending due to his comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The network announced Monday that the show would return on Tuesday. Kimmel faced backlash for his remarks, leading major affiliates to pull his show.

President Trump, a frequent target of Kimmel’s jokes, celebrated the suspension. Kimmel expressed concern about potential government crackdowns on comedians.

His suspension comes amid a shifting late-night landscape and ongoing debates about media control and free speech.
