Overview

  • Jimmy Kimmel Live! is scheduled to air Tuesday at 11:35 p.m. ET in its usual ABC time slot after a weeklong suspension.
  • Sinclair Broadcast Group said it will not carry the episode on its ABC affiliates, affecting viewers in parts of Washington, California, Texas, Florida and Illinois.
  • Nexstar, which previously paused carriage, had not confirmed whether it would air Tuesday’s return as of this afternoon.
  • Viewers without local broadcast access can watch via DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV or Fubo, and show segments will post on YouTube and ABC.com.
  • ABC said it suspended the show after comments it deemed untimely and insensitive regarding reactions to Charlie Kirk’s killing, and Kimmel is expected to address the controversy on-air.
