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.
I’m not mixing them up, I just don’t enjoy those kinds of late shows. Not my kind of thing. Though I don’t even know why I said that because it’s irrelevant to the point I was making, that the reasons for Kimmel’s suspension were blatantly political and nothing to do with ratings. It’s clear he’s got a large following.
