is well hidden. However, if one listens carefully to Kimmel's re-entry monologue, it is clear that he was in close contact with ABC throughout that down week, and that the discussions were at least cordial.

We all would have preferred to have seen ABC come out with "Hell no. Kimmel stays. He did nothing wrong. All you MAGA people just go F yourselves." But that was never going to happen. My view is that Disney held a really lousy hand and they actually played their cards wisely. Kimmel is back on the air. Disney emerges without much of a stain on its greater reputation. They will keep a few lawyers busy for several years, but that is a rounding error for Disney.

And I will not be surprised to find Kimmel's ratings improve a little, as many people learned more about his character and the importance of what he has to say.
