Disney Shareholders Question Fiduciary Rules Violation Over Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension Amid Trump Pressure

Following his suspension from ABC, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel returned to television screens on Tuesday, attracting an audience of over six million viewers – marking the largest TV viewership for Kimmel in a decade, as reported by Disney, his parent company.

However, this return has sparked concern among a faction of Disney shareholders who are questioning whether the corporation may have breached its fiduciary responsibilities by yielding to perceived pressure from the Trump administration to withdraw Kimmel’s show from broadcast.

In an exclusive interview, Scott Tong, host of the podcast “Full Disclosure,” engaged with Roben Farzad to discuss this unfolding situation. The interview was originally published on WBUR.org.
