Disney-owned terrestrial television network ABC will allow “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to return as scheduled to the air on Tuesday, September 23rd. This decision comes after Kimmel’s show was pulled indefinitely last week.

“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,” a spokesperson for the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, said in a statement to CNN. “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.”
