In a statement, ABC parent company Disney said it would 'return the show on Tuesday.'

Kimmel had been suspended since Wednesday, after the host said that 'the MAGA gang' was attempting to portray the suspect in Kirk's assassination 'as anything other than one of them.'

'Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,' Disney's statement said.

'It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. 

'We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.'

No further details were provided.
