The move divided opinion — some applauded it, while many celebs criticized it as an attack on free speech.

But on Monday, Disney announced Kimmel would be back on air. The Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, said in a statement on September 22:

”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. 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.”
