Jimmy Kimmel Live will return on Tuesday after being suspended by Disney.
Disney suspended the show to avoid inflaming a tense situation and due to perceived insensitive comments.
The suspension followed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's threat of license revocations for ABC-affiliated stations.
Public backlash occurred after Disney caved to FCC pressure, leading to subscription cancellations.
The controversy stemmed from Kimmel's monologue criticizing the 'MAGA gang' over their response to a murder involving Charlie Kirk.
Conservatives accused Kimmel of misleading the public about the murderer's affiliations.
