How to watch the return of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns to air on ABC on Tuesday
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
(CNN) — Jimmy Kimmel will return with his late-night show on ABC on Tuesday, after an abrupt suspension last week.
Kimmel is expected to address the controversy that erupted after conservatives criticized a monologue comment he made about the MAGA responses to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to a source familiar with the comedian’s plans.
While many may want to hear what he has to say, not everyone will be able to watch the show when it airs.
Cities where Kimmel won’t air
Sinclair, the conservative media group that owns more than 30 ABC affiliates across the US, including in Washington, D.C., and in some markets in California, Texas, Florida, and Illinois, have announced it will not air Kimmel’s return to late-night.
Nexstar, which last week said it would no longer air Kimmel’s show, also owns dozens of ABC affiliates. The company has yet to announce if it will air Kimmel’s show on Tuesday.
Where to watch
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/ 10:35 CT on ABC. If you still have good old-fashioned linear TV, you can watch it as the episode releases or stream it on DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV or Fubo.
The show also releases extended segments on YouTube and on ABC.com.
It’s not yet known who Kimmel’s guests will be on Tuesday night’s episode.
