Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Disney announced Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to ABC network on Tuesday night, following "thoughtful conversations" with Kimmel.
The late night talk series was indefinitely suspended Wednesday after Kimmel made comments on-air regarding the shooting death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
Disney said the show will return to its regular time slot on Tuesday.
"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," the company 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."
