returning Late show on Tuesday after quote thoughtful conversations with

parent company Disney. A spokesperson said last Wednesday, we made

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.519
the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid

6
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.200
further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.920
our country. It's a decision we made because we felt

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.640
some of the comments were ill timed and thus insensitive.

9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.280
We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy,

10
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.679
and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return

11
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.479
