With a tears monologue, Jimmy Kimmel returned to his presentation late at night in ABC on Tuesday night after a comment for about a week about the comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kerk. Kimmel used his platform to address controversy, apologize for his comments, and defend freedom of expression.
Thanks to his supporters, as well as those who do not agree with him.
“I would like to thank people who do not support my program or what I believe in, but I support the right to share these beliefs anyway,” Kimmel told the public.
He also regretted how to explain his comments about Kirk’s assassination, which led to ABC’s commentary last Wednesday.
“I understand that my intention has never shed light on the killing of a young man,” he said. “I don’t think there is anything funny on this topic … I didn’t blame any group specific to the actions of what was clearly a very troubled person. It was the opposite of the point I was trying to clarify.”
Kimmil’s comment sparked a national storm on freedom of expression and control, as the head of the Federal Communications Committee threatens Brendan Carrology against ABC.
Consheseling of celebrities, politicians and Kimmel late at night reached his defense. Disney, who owns ABC, faced a major reaction from the audience with many outsourcing to cancel Disney+ and Disney Province for Entertainment and Products.
In the end, Disney retreated.
“I was not happy when they took me out of the air … I did not agree with this decision and told them that,” the host said late at night. “We have had many conversations. I shared my point of view.
While “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He returned to ABC, is still not available throughout the country.
Two of the largest broadcasters in the country, Nexstar The media group and SINCLAIR announced that they will continue to anticipate the Kimmel program on its subsidiaries ABC.
Nexstar said in a statement on Tuesday morning. Nexstar is the parent company of KTLA.
Before broadcasting the Kimmel program, President Trump was weighing on social media, and he wrote: “I cannot believe that ABC gave Jimmy Kimmel his job. I told the White House ABC that his offer had been canceled. Something happened between that time and now because his fans have left and his talent was never there.”
Disney and ABC, however, did not really release Kimmel.
