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.

    I mean, it’s not like he’s a progressive warrior. He’s a general appeal late night talk show host, his job is to read out comedy slop about current events

    I’m just happy he didn’t apologize

      I get that. I’m just saying a little more pushback would’ve been nice. I honestly kind of expected an apology and maybe more capitulation, so I’m with you.

        It would be nice, but we live in the worst timeline. Not losing can be a win if your expectations are low enough
