00:00Welcome back in here to Live Now from Fox. I am Andy Mack. We do have some breaking news that we

00:06want to get to as Jimmy Kimmel will be back on air starting on Tuesday. That after ABC and Disney

00:14pulled him from the air, suspending him indefinitely for his comments made about the

00:19fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. Back on air, Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. As you can see this,

00:25a post from TMZ saying Jimmy Kimmel Live is coming back to ABC after this suspension. So

00:31obviously there are lots of conversations we did watch unfold even on Hollywood earlier on today

00:37calling for Jimmy Kimmel to be reinstated and that is happening right now. And in a statement from

00:44Disney, they said, quote, last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to

00:50avoid further inflaming a tense situation and an emotional moment for our country. It's a decision

00:56we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and insensitive. We have spent the last

01:01days of thoughtful conversation with Jimmy. So of course, after those conversations, we reached the

01:07decision to return the show on Tuesday. So some big news in terms of this as the FCC chair, Brendan

01:13Carr, said it might have to take the easy way or the hard way in terms of regulating some of those

01:19comments by Jimmy Kimmel. But big news that the comedian, the late night talk show host is back

01:26on air starting on Tuesday. So less than a week since he was pulled from the air for those comments

01:33about it. We heard lawmakers in Hollywood today comment on what he said, of course, calling on

01:40the reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel. So some big news in terms of that here on Live Now from Fox about

01:45that late night show host. As you can see, also saying this from Elizabeth McDonald, Jimmy Kimmel is

01:51returning to a show tomorrow night. Disney still says his comments were ill-timed and insensitive.

01:57But big news and rocky start to the week for Disney in terms of their stock, talking about potentially

02:04Disney being boycotted. We'll see if it's somewhat of a reverse if it is instead not the left only

02:09dropping Disney, but now the right for bringing Jimmy Kimmel back. All right. Following it all

02:14closely here on Live Now from Fox, we'll slide away for another quick two-minute break.

02:24All right. Welcome back in here to Live Now from Fox. I am Andy Mack. Thank you so much for joining us.

02:29Coming up here in about 15 minutes or so, we're expected to hear from President Trump alongside

02:35HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talking about a major autism announcement. So just a live picture

02:42there in Washington, D.C. at the White House. And sometimes some of these events, there are a variety

02:48of different questions being asked, especially on the international front. Other top headlines,

02:53including the most recent breaking news developing story that Jimmy Kimmel will be back on air on ABC

03:01in his usual late night talk show slot. And this comes after that suspension by ABC and Disney.

03:09As they said, it was still ill-timed and insensitive, his comments about the fatal shooting of Charlie

03:15Kirk. And I do want to put up just some of this here on Live Now from Fox, a statement from Disney

03:20talking about the return of this, saying last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production

03:24on the show to avoid further inflaming the tense situation. At an emotional moment for our country,

03:30decision we made because we felt some of his comments were ill-timed and insensitive. We have

03:35spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy. And after those conversations, we reached

03:40the decision to return that show coming up on Tuesday. So some big news in terms of this as free speech

03:48advocates speaking out about the censorship they felt was taking place with Jimmy Kimmel and some of

03:54these comments saying the lawmakers, including their Brad Sherman in Hollywood, talking about it was not a joke,

04:03was not saying anything about Charlie Kirk in particular, saying it was obviously against the president

04:09instead. So following this closely here on Live Now from Fox, and obviously a lot of new developments, we'll hopefully

04:15hear from our Fox 11 team about those developments here. And we potentially could hear from the president himself if he was

04:21asked on a question there inside of the Oval Office, inside of the White House.
