After a tumultuous week, Jimmy Kimmel is returning to ABC.

Kimmel’s late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return with new episodes Tuesday, TVLine has learned, after ABC shelved the show indefinitely last week in response to the host’s recent comments about the kling of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

“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,” ABC’s parent company Disney said in a statement. “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.”

On Friday, Kimmel’s representatives were “deep in discussions” with ABC and parent company Disney “in the hopes of finding a path to a compromise that would allow for” the show to return, Variety reported. In another encouraging sign, Jimmy Kimmel Live! staffers were informed on Friday they would be paid for the following week while negotiations continued, per Deadline.

ABC announced last Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “preempted indefinitely” after Nexstar — which owns more than two dozen ABC affiliates nationwide, including stations in Nashville, New Orleans and other, smaller markets — decided not to air the show in light of Kimmel’s comments. Sinclair, another owner of multiple ABC affiliates, soon followed suit.

“Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show,” Nexstar said in a statement. “Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the klling of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

Kimmel spoke about Kirk’s murd3r in his monologue on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, saying that “we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who klled Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” FCC chairman Brendan Carr quickly took issue with his comments, threatening to penalize the stations airing Kimmel’s show if they don’t “change conduct and take action.”
