Today, Disney faced significant controversy over the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show on ABC. The suspension followed backlash from conservative circles and the Trump administration concerning Kimmel's comments about the death of Turning Point USA's founder on his recent broadcast. This last-minute decision, made just before the show was to record on September 17, has caused internal tensions within Disney, protests outside Disney's headquarters, and calls from industry figures and staff for Kimmel's reinstatement. Discussions are ongoing between Disney executives and Kimmel's representatives to resolve the issue. The situation has been described as a major flashpoint around corporate responses to political and social controversies.
Apart from this, Disney+ released new content today as part of its September 2025 lineup, including the premiere of "LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past" and documentary titles like "Dolphins Up Close with Bertie Gregory".
No reports of other major Disney incidents or announcements on September 19, 2025, were identified.
