Disney It’s been quite a year for Kimmel since the last time he met with advertisers on the Disney upfront stage. Most notably was last year’s Kimmel media firestorm, when Disney temporarily benched the late-night host in the wake of threats from the Trump administration. On Tuesday, he returned to the upfronts, opening with the crack, “I didn’t think I’d see you guys again either!”
“I’ve been through so much bullshit this year, it actually made me appreciate this bullshit,” Kimmel said. “You see, in order for ABC to pull you off the air, you have to throw a chair at your Mormon boyfriend!”
