when will jimmy kimmel live return

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", is set to return to ABC on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. The show had been suspended the previous week following controversy around comments Kimmel made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. After several days of discussions between Kimmel and Disney (ABC's parent company), the network decided to resume the show on this date to end the standoff and avoid further escalating the sensitive situation.
