If the situation was reversed, it was a good chance I&#8217;d feel the same way.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">However, the late-night host said he &#8220;did not agree&#8221; with ABC&#8217;s decision to pull him off the air. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">&#8220;I told them that, and we had many conversations,&#8221; Jimmy recalled, adding that they ultimately changed their minds. &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight:400\">We have short attention spans, and I am a tiny part of the Disney Corporation. They welcomed me back on the air, and I thank them for that.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1422879\/jimmy-kimmel-returns-to-late-night-breaks-silence-on-suspension?cmpid=rss-syndicate-genericrss-us-top_stories\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Kimmel is getting the last word.\u00a0 Less than a week after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was abruptly suspended \u201cindefinitely\u201d amid backlash to comments he\u2019d made<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
