Jimmy Kimmel returned Tuesday to his late-night show on ABC, where he addressed his comments on Charlie Kirk's death and thanked those who have supported him in the past week.

Jimmy Kimmel returned Tuesday to his late show on ABC after a nearly week-long suspension.

The host delivered an emotional monologue defending free speech, but did not issue an apology.

Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, owners of ABC affiliates, continue to keep “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off their stations.

    That was a pretty fucking good monologue, but damn, you know shits rough when you agree with Ted Cruz.

      It was nice, but I can’t say I could agree with his praising Kirk’s wife for forgiving the killer. I can’t believe anything that say because everything is performative and I can’t help but to think, “would she have said the same if the killer wasn’t a white guy?”

      I’m more surprised Ted had a line he wouldn’t cross (for now) to get power, influence, or money. Perhaps he sees the writing on the wall and is positioning himself to survive the backlash.
