Should be fun to see that first monologue. I hope he roasts the shit out of them all for all their stupidity.

"His Tuesday night monologue is expected to be critical of President Donald Trump, CNN's Brian Stelter reported."
Hard-hitting journalism from CNN there...
Hahaha they caved. Disney’s more afraid of the shareholders than they are of the FCC. Suck it, Trump!
The classic dilemma they teach in business school. Is it worth it to alienate the customers we need to sustain our business so that we can appease a treasonous child raping shit bag that will continually shake us down for more cash, especially if we easily fold and show we won't put up a fight?
There's no way Disney is going to pay 'less' under Trump. The fact that they couldn't realize that from an Au away is mind boggling
Well this should chap taco's ass. Hope Jimmy doesn't give one cent to them either! Or maybe just 2cents. That is a donation of meaning...
He should have told them to fuck off then do a barnstorming tour like Conan
I get why he did what he did
He...himself is rich he's fine he knows this. Fuck part of me thinks a tiny little piece of him might have enjoyed the time off....and almost wished it'd last a bit longer who the hell knows.
However he knows he has staff that need the income from that job in order to provide for their families.
Said this exact same thing the other day in a comment around here.
I'm going to continue my boycott until Iger & the board are replaced.
Everyone should go watch John Oliver’s last show about this. I got chills when he said his last line. I won’t ruin it if you haven’t seen it.
I worry Mr Kimmel will have to make a big apology and sign some self-gag order, just to his team and crew can work.
It'll become super milquetoasty for a painful partial season before it dies of ratings.
I couldn't see Kimmel doing that at all.
He should gild the stage like Stewart did. In fact all the late night hosts should just become parody Trump propaganda shows. I honestly think that would increase all their ratings and maximally piss Trump off.
If he doesn't take a giant shit on Trump's face for his return show then this is all a farce
I can't wait to see the meltdown on Truth Social.
(By the way, don't give that cesspool any traffic. Use https://www.trumpstruth.org/ instead.)
...I don't see an apology included, so it sounds like Disney+ stays cancelled
An apology isn't good enough. The fascist-complying execs have to be fired.
As a shareholder, I agree. The boards actions show that their priorities don't align with shareholder profits, American ideals, or a worthwhile moral footing. In a just world, they would be stripped of all of their assets, and given a stipend to live in an apartment that can be afforded in the lowest paying wage their old company offered, doing that job, day in, and day out, until they reach the same retirement age everyone else has to, or the pension age, if the company has one(spoiler, they don't). Make them unable to accept money from outside accounts, and monitor their savings like you would a disabled person on Medicare. If they make too much, they go to prison, or have the extra seized.
Being a CEO who has the power of themselves as a person, and the power of a corporation as a ubiquitous person free of liability and direct punishment, it should be an incredibly high risk, high reward proposal. You want the the 100 million a year payout for a position, that literally anyone could do? Then fine, failure means becoming the lowest tier your company has. If anything you'll see higher wages across the board. It would be stupid to not hedge your bets
I'm gonna start pirating his show, methinks.
Cyber bullying works! Voting with your wallet works! Fuck the mouse!
I wonder if this means Nextstar is going to air it. Or if they will continue blocking it on their channels.
So Disney backed down but FCC is still there. Will actually try to take away ABC's license?
The major networks do still own a few of their own stations, normally the flagship stations in NY and LA. In ABC's case, they have a subsidiary which directly owns 8 stations:

I can totally see Donald Trump try to revoke their licenses in NY and LA, just to be a little bitch
I hope he roasts them and ditches them at end of contract. If they bend this easy, they shall again.
So, I guess not indefinitely then?
Indefinitely can be defined as infinite/forever or unknown/unspecified.
Well, by definition, indefinitely mean a timeline that is not defined. It could have been indefinitely and back on the air later that night and still have been 'indefinitely' if that hadn't been decided beforehand.
I still wouldnt be watching. I'll just watch a YouTube clip that's uploaded by a third party not affiliated with Disney.
Disney let their mask slip. Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't return and do a Conan-esque travel show. Let Disney swim in their pile of shit and have entertainers distance themselves from a fascist company.
Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money.
That's maybe the reason he was doing the show previously. Now he has an opportunity to prove it's for more than that. I hope when he comes back tonight he comes back harder and more offensive, doing his best to provoke the administration. Make ABC grow a pair and fight to prove their support of freedom.
They make more money if you watch the YT clips anyway. It's good for them, so keep it up.
