Following a significant controversy that caused some ABC affiliates to stop airing Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Kimmel made a comeback appearance on late-night television on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump erupted on Tuesday after ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would return to late-night television, accusing the broadcaster of backing Democrats and branding it a potential “illegal campaign contribution.”
In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump slammed ABC’s decision and reignited his ongoing row with Kimmel, who has frequently mocked him in his opening segments.
“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there,” Trump wrote. The news comes as Jimmy Kimmel Live: Late-night show returns despite Donald Trump’s scathing rant.
Why would they want a replacement who plays 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE and performs so poorly, isn’t funny, and puts the network in danger? He added that, to my knowledge, that would constitute a significant Illegal Campaign Contribution because he is yet another DNC arm.

He went on: “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”, reports the Irish Star.
Jimmy Kimmel Live made a comeback last night! following an indefinite suspension that had sparked discussion all over the country, on ABC, was officially reinstated. Following Kimmel’s most recent monologue on the program, where he accused “the MAGA gang” of trying to politicize Charlie Kirk’s murder, the drama began.
The backlash was severe because Sinclair and Nexstar, two significant ABC affiliates, “indefinitely” dropped Kimmel from the air.
Brendan Carr, the chair of the FCC, jumped in and warned of regulatory consequences if broadcasters continued to air the program without addressing his concerns.
Disney and ABC immediately faced criticism after thousands of Disney+ subscribers were canceled, and numerous celebrities and businesses demanded that Kimmel be reinstated.
The company met with Kimmel, assessed the damage, and announced the program would resume on Tuesday night in its regular slot amid the criticism, subscriber exodus, and censorship and free speech debates.
However, Sinclair decided to avoid airing the comeback episode on its ABC affiliates and instead to air news programming until the “discussions with ABC” are resolved.
This followed CBS’s decision not to renew Stephen Colbert for another series after his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump.
