But the bad boy of data and measurement solutions is back.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel had his show temporarily suspended last fall amid a political firestorm following a joke he made about the killer of late political activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Usually in order for ABC to pull you off the air, you have to throw a chair at your Mormon boyfriend,&quot; Kimmel joked at the Disney Upfront presentation. It was a reference to the controversy around Taylor Frankie Paul, the &quot;Secret Lives of Mormon Wives&quot; star who was set to host the now-shelved season of &quot;The Bachelorette.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Yes, the president has tried to get me twice over the last six months \u2014 that&#039;s one way to look at it,&quot; Kimmel joked. &quot;You could also say I&#039;ve generated unparalleled engagement across a variety of platforms.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel made political waves again in late April for saying first lady Melania Trump &quot;had a glow like an expectant widow,&quot; days before a gunman entered the hotel hosting the White House Correspondents&#039; Dinner that Trump attended.<\/p>\n<p>That led Trump to say on social media that Kimmel should be &quot;immediately fired&quot; from ABC. A day later, the FCC said it was investigating Disney&#039;s broadcast networks for their DEI practices. The agency ordered an early renewal review for the company&#039;s broadcast licenses, a rare occurrence.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Hiring me 24 years ago, just from a purely mathematical standpoint, was the worst personnel decision the Disney corporation has ever made,&quot; Kimmel said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC has also investigated whether ABC&#039;s daytime talk show &quot;The View&quot; violated so-called equal-time rules by bringing on Democrats, such as Texas lawmaker James Talarico.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Disney has pushed back against the FCC, saying that the agency&#039;s actions &quot;threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Business Insider&#039;s Peter Kafka wrote that this gentle but firm resistance under new Disney CEO Josh D&#039;Amaro is a marked difference from the more conciliatory approach to Trump that former CEO Bob Iger took.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel also hasn&#039;t backed down, though he said on his late-night show that he&#039;s been &quot;very vocal&quot; about opposing gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>During NBC&#039;s presentation to advertisers on Monday, late-night host Seth Meyers poked fun at Paramount-owned CBS for being &quot;in the pocket for Trump.&quot; Disney and ABC were spared from such barbs.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of his monologue, Kimmel joked: &quot;That&#039;s it for me \u2014 probably forever.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article on Business Insider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Melania Trump before the White House Correspondents&#039; Dinner.
