Still, Cruz isn’t cheering for a cancellation -- in fact, he says the FCC needs to butt out completely, 'cause according to him, the government threatening comedians is a slippery slope that could bite everyone in the bum.

2 PM PT -- Hours after Sinclair's update, Nexstar has also announced the company's ABC affiliate stations will return "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to the air starting tonight.

The Jimmy Kimmel extended blackout is seeing more daylight ... starting tonight, 'Live!' is storming back onto all of Sinclair Broadcasting Group's 38 ABC affiliate stations, the company declared Friday.
