It’s a fact that every late night program’s ratings suck. Colbert we know, Kimmel had like 149k viewers in the 18-49 demographic. Fallon & SNL are losing NBC upwards of $150m/yr (they’re having him do weekend shows now to try and bring people in after football).
Likely, ABC/Disney were looking for any straw to break the camels back.
This presented an opportunity. Piss off the only viewers of their shows (liberals) by “taking it off the air” so that when everyone starts running their mouth about it and it becomes a PR dream, they pop it back on to a slew of new viewers.
(Unfortunately they’ll still end up realizing he’s not funny and gets half his laughs from making fun of a little Mexican man.)

Fuck that racist piece of garbage. Cancel Disney for bringing him back.
If Disney doesn’t allow the hero Jimmy Kimmel to do blackface on ABC ASAP, then democracy is dead.
I figured they are doing the same thing with Kimmel, as they did with Carlson.
As television and cable loses ratings to podcasts and YouTube; they use this opportunity to split off and take their viewership to new outlets.
