Jimmy Kimmel joked that his return to television after being suspended last week by corporate parent Disney had at least one string attached.
“A lot of people have been asking me if there are conditions for my return to the air, and there is one,” he said on Tuesday, his first night back after the company put his show on hiatus over comments he made about the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination.
The suspension caused celebration on the right ― including from President Donald Trump ― and outrage among his fans, many of whom canceled their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions in protest.
That led to the supposed “condition” on his return.
“Disney has asked me to read the following statement, and I’ve agreed to do it,” he said. “Here we go: To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account, open the Disney+ app on your smart TV or TV-connected device.”
