Poll: Americans approve of Jimmy Kimmel's return to TV by a more than 2-to-1 margin [View all]

By a more than two-to-one margin, Americans approve (58%) rather than disapprove (25%) of the decision by ABC and its parent company, Disney, to end Jimmy Kimmel’s recent suspension and let him return to TV, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll.

Earlier this month, ABC announced that it was pulling Kimmel’s late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, off the air “indefinitely” after Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission chair, criticized comments Kimmel made about the motives of the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Carr also suggested the FCC could move to revoke ABC affiliate licenses as a way of forcing Disney to punish Kimmel. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said.

President Trump went further, suggesting that "networks" and "evening shows" that “give me only bad publicity” should “maybe” have their licenses “taken away."
