'Standoff': New details revealed in Jimmy Kimmel suspension aftermath

Jimmy Kimmel, who was suspended "indefinitely" this week, is reportedly in a "standoff" with Disney and met with a top executive Thursday but did not reach a "resolution," according to reports.

The meeting with attorneys and the executive in Century City was "cordial," The Daily Beast reports. But little progress was made and Kimmel apparently refused to agree to do "more than what he wanted to say on Monday."

Puck entertainment insider Kim Masters reported it's unlikely he will return as ABC's late-night host, saying she is "not sure there’s a world where Kimmel returns."

Conversations between the talk show host and network are apparently ongoing.

Nexstar Media Group announced on Wednesday that it was pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live" indefinitely after the comedian made remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's killer, saying President Donald Trump's MAGA was using Kirk's death to further political gain.

Kimmel told his longtime friend and Man Show collaborator Adam Carolla via text that it was "strange times," Carolla said on "The Adam Carolla Show."

Trump appointee and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, in a podcast interview Wednesday, threatened immediate action against Kimmel, ABC and Disney over the comments, claiming he deliberately misled the public and said "it appears to be some of the sickest conduct possible" in the wake of Kirk's killing.

He also said that Kimmel should be suspended and that ABC should lose its broadcast license.

Hours later, Kimmel's show was pulled.

Trump, as he was heading back from his United Kingdom visit Thursday, threatened other broadcasters and networks when he was asked about the comedian having his show pulled “indefinitely” by ABC/Disney. The president then went beyond that specific topic.

“I have read someplace that the networks were 97 percent against me, again, 97 percent negative, and yet I won and easily, all seven swing states,” he told reporters. “They give me only bad publicity, press. I mean, they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”
