Iger says Kimmel suspension was about timing and tone

Kimmel contract renewed through May 2027

Kimmel was off the air for almost a week before returning on September 23. He shared regret over how his comments came across but made it clear he never meant to trivialize the murder of Charlie Kirk or blame any group.
Despite all the drama, Disney renewed Kimmel's contract in December 2025, so his show will keep airing through May 2027.
