PRESS RELEASE - PRESS RELEASE - -
Statement on behalf of ABC Entertainment and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
On behalf of everyone at Jimmy Kimmel Live and ABC, please accept our
heartfelt, sincere apology for the airing of the “Kids Table” segment of
Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 16, 2013.
The simple fact is, the segment should never have been broadcast.
Systems we have in place for these types of things did not function
properly, and steps have been made to try and prevent this kind of
egregious mistake from occurring in the future.
We have strengthened our review process and several new safeguards
have been put in place to both our Broadcast Standards & Practices
and Entertainment Programming areas to ensure that segments like this
are immediately brought to the attention of appropriate senior
executives who can address them appropriately.
We have also done everything in our power to ensure that the segment
receives no further exposure. We issued a written apology, the offending
skit has been edited out of any future broadcast of that episode; we
have taken down the clip from all of our online platforms; and the show
has decided to forego any future segments of “Kids Table.”
In addition, Jimmy Kimmel has apologized on-air, in writing, and has
personally met with concerned citizens to hear their viewpoints and to
apologize, again, in person.
Please know that we take our responsibility to our viewers extremely
seriously, and are confident that the steps we’ve taken will prevent
this type of issue from happening again.
