After a brief break, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” returned to TV on Tuesday (23), which infuriated Donald Trump, who thought the show had been canceled for good.

“The White House was informed by ABC that his show was canceled! Something happened between then and now because his ratings DISAPPEARED, and his ‘talent’ never existed,” wrote Donald Trump on his Truth Social profile.
“Why would they want back someone who performs so badly, who isn’t funny, and who puts the network at risk by airing 99% positive Democrat garbage?” raged the U.S. president.
Donald Trump threatened to “test” ABC. “The last time I went after them, they gave me 16 million dollars. This one looks even more profitable. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his awful ratings.”
On September 17, ABC, owned by Disney, announced that Jimmy Kimmel’s show would be taken off the air indefinitely. The move appeared to be a punishment after the host’s comments about Charlie Kirk.
“Great news for America: Jimmy Kimmel’s show, which was struggling with ratings, was CANCELED,” Donald Trump celebrated at the time.
Kimmel said that the U.S. had reached “new heights over the weekend with the MAGA crowd desperately trying to characterize that kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything but one of their own.”
Hours before ABC announced Kimmel’s suspension, the network received threats of retaliation from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr, due to the late-night host’s remarks.
