Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show will return after being taken off the air over his comments about the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Officials with the Disney-owned American Broadcasting Company said: "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."

The network suspended Kimmel indefinitely after comments he made about Mr Kirk, who was killed on September 10, in a monologue.

Kimmel said that "many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalise on the murder of Charlie Kirk" and that "the MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them".
