    Looks like Kimmel is going to be back on the air this Tuesday.

    Jimmy Kimmel Is Back: ABC Returning Late-Night Show On Tuesday

    A spokesman said, “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

    The sidelines he generally likes to hang out on are high school ones.

    Because he's a pedophile.

    He's also unfunny as shit and should be thanking Larry David every day of his life for... everything he has. Except his underage partners. Because Larry David would never.

    Fuck him.

    The boycott should still continue even if it comes back

    you know ABC is salivating at the ratings for the first show. Don’t give it to them

    "After talking to Jimmy, we realized we never made him sign a no compete contract and can't force him to sign an NDA, and he could submarine us worse than Donald can."

    I wonder how that works for those who aren't OTA? Like, at 11:35 PM, is KATU on Youtubetv still considered an OTA broadcast?

    Sinclair owns our local ABC affiliate, KATU, so it will not be shown in Portland.

    Sinclair sucked before this, and they suck now, and they will suck in perpetuity.

    My VPN has Bend as an option, and I think they're safe. If not, there are tons of others.

    er, so I've heard.
