In an interview with the Financial Times published on Saturday, June 20, Iger refuted claims that the network's decision to pull Kimmel was due to allegiance to President Donald Trump.
The executive noted that Kimmel’s suspension lasted less than one week, saying, “We just wanted him to acknowledge that it was an ill-timed and probably inappropriate comment.”

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.” Kimmel said at the time.
In his opening monologue on Sept. 23, Kimmel addressed the controversy for the first time, clarified his comments, and spoke kindly about the political influencer’s widow, Erika Kirk. He also took time to advocate for the right to free speech, and argued that pulling him and other late-night hosts off-air is a threat to democracy.
