Late-show host Jimmy Kimmel's been meeting with top Disney executives since he was pulled off air earlier this week.

ABC put his talk show on hold indefinitely after he made controversial comments about the Charlie Kirk killing.

US associate law professor Jacob Schriner-Briggs says there's a strong case for Kimmel to sue.

"Typically, the First Amendment only applies to Government actors, which is to say that private entities cannot typically violate a person's freedom of speech, but the Supreme Court has been clear in interpreting the First Amendment that the Government cannot force private intermediaries to do its censorship work for it."
