The crew of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will receive their pay next week. The ABC show has informed its staff about this decision as discussions between Jimmy Kimmel and the network continue.

This development is viewed as a positive indication for the show’s potential return, as the network aims to maintain a good relationship with Kimmel and his team during negotiations.

Since the network indefinitely preempted Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, Kimmel and Disney executives have been in talks, with discussions taking place on Thursday and continuing today. Although no final agreement has been reached, the ongoing dialogue suggests that Kimmel could return to the airwaves soon.

Prior to the preemption, Disney requested that Kimmel apologize for his comments regarding the killer of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel declined to do so during Wednesday’s show, opting instead to clarify his remarks and address their misinterpretation, particularly among some supporters.

The preemption occurred shortly after Nexstar announced it would not air the show on its local stations, a decision that was also followed by another station group, Sinclair. Kimmel is well-liked by his crew and is believed to be mindful of how his decisions affect them, especially considering the challenges they have faced due to the pandemic, writers’ and actors’ strikes, and the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! is filmed from Mondays to Thursdays at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
