Kimmel to Return to Late Night Show

The key question is "under what conditions?"

The late night host will address the matter during his show set to be taped on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters


Does he have to get his monologue approved or apologize for any reason?
Sorry, what would be the point in returning if you have to return under censorship?
Based on that statement above it's flat "No" from me.
Anything other than returning to TV unconditionally is completely unacceptable.

Then an extra dressed in something like Soviet era military garb comes on and whispers something inaudible in his ear and Kimmel rephrases it into something innocuous or praising of government.

Repeatedly.
