It’s gone. They won’t bring it back. ABC will probably feed Celebrity Family Feud (and fuck Steve Harvey for letting them run his show) for the next few weeks while they supposedly make a decision, then Nightline goes back to 11:35.
Funny you say that because - at least on WABC - FF is tonight’s replacement program.
Is it the case for rest of the week? Month? Year? We’ll see.

WMAR/Baltimore said on Facebook ABC are feeding it for the rest of the week, but they had no idea what was happening next week. A bunch of stations have decided just to do hour news and slot in a lifestyle rerun at 12:00.
lol calm down he will be fine . More important issues at the moment to worry about then Jimmy Mimmels problems. He will be fine. He is an elite rich enough comedian.
of course he will be fine. This isn’t about Kimmel, as such. This is about anyone being shutdown or cancelled or axed for causing the slightest hurting of MAGA feelings. You know, the so-called free speech and anti-cancel culture crowd. Who as it turns out are the biggest snowflakes in the room.

Also read back the statement that I quoted in my comment.
There was a bold word.
Which is also the most mind-boggling part of this saga.

Rolling Stone confirming what many suspected that executives at ABC and Disney didn’t think Kimmel said anything outrageous but they feared retaliation from the Trump admin [in the form of the FCC].

Truly fucking bullshit that somebody can make a simple comedic observation about the ruling party on a comedy show (remember when the GOP were all about Legalize Comedy?) and get fucking sacked and abused over it, yet Brian Killmeade can say, on a ‘news’ program, “Just kill the homeless” and everyone’s like “oh, he shouldn’t have said that, hey, look over here, something else is happening”, all because some 80 year old dementia ridden toddler who shits his pants doesn’t like you. Fuck Disney, Fuck ABC, and Fuck Perry (the) Sook.

I can’t wait to see how the “damage is minimized”.
More sublicensing of ESPN’s sports inventory? Good luck with that.
It’s the fault of the ‘radical left’ that caused a RWNJ to say exactly what he thought.

The difference is the FCC doesn’t have much regulatory power for cable networks such as Fox News whereas it does for OTA networks like ABC.

Welp, Colbert could do the funniest thing and let Kimmel be a guest on his show.
What a world we live in…
Shows how quickly this happens, just the other day he was on Monday Night Football advertising his show.
People do not understand any sort of nuance these days. We are all fucking stupid.

That was unbelievably correct.
As news was breaking of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show being suspended, guests booked on Wednesday’s episode were already on their way to the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood where “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is recorded, sources told CNN.
[…]
According to a source with knowledge of the events, Kimmel’s staff members had been working as usual on Wednesday afternoon, holding calls with talent publicists regarding upcoming episodes just before the decision was announced.
[…]
Outside the theater in Hollywood, some audience members had been waiting in line for over an hour when they were told the taping had been cancelled.
A couple who had traveled from Virginia to Los Angeles on vacation to attend Kimmel’s taping, called ABC’s decision “ridiculous.”
And then CNN also says JKL is NOT cancelled, but gives two longer ways to say it is:
A source familiar with the fluid and fast-moving situation told CNN that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has not been cancelled, but added there is no timeline as to when the show may return.
[…]
A number of entertainment industry figures who spoke with CNN questioned whether the show would ever return to air, citing the current political climate and noting Kimmel has long been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.
The show normally taped at 4.30pm local time (7.30pm Eastern), evidently.
Now for Kimmel’s side, you can read this article. All of it.

No, just the US. They think Idiocracy and 1984 are instruction manuals. 
You’d be surprised. You should be hearing some of the shit I have been hearing at work.
This whole thing reminds me of a quote from the philosopher Simpson, H
Son, I’ve learned one thing in this life. To stay out of trouble just say nothing. Don’t rock the boat. Don’t even get in the boat! Just buy some ice cream and walk around the pier. But don’t go in the bathrooms, they’re filthy. Dad, I am going on a talk show, I have to say something. Talk about boats. Then, when he asks you if you hate this country
