But of course I could be wrong. I imagine the billions of dollars Disney lost factored into the decision.

Online if he apologizes or caves in any way they will never watch him again after standing up for him.

I sincerely hope he comes back without a gag on his mouth.

Finally spoke. They rationalized they wanted to let Kimmel speak first (they were silent Thursday) and Friday is pre-taped. They stayed on the topic of Free Speech without naming names though.

The leash is off but they are still locked inside the house.
