Kimmel Returns, Blasts Trump: “He Tried to Cancel Me,” Backfired
After being pulled from the air for eight days, Jimmy Kimmel returned to ABC Tuesday night. Kimmel thanked those who supported him, including fellow late-night hosts and even those who disagreed with his beliefs but defended his right to share them, following backlash from comments made about the MAGA movement’s reaction to the murder of Charlie Kirk. The show was initially pulled after comments from FCC Chair Brendan Carr and affiliate preemptions. In his return, Kimmel expressed contrition for the comments that led to his suspension and praised Erika Kirk for her act of forgiveness.
