Los Angeles – Jimmy Kimmel returned to the ether waves on Tuesday evening after his width was replaced late at night nearly a week.
In more than 15 minutes of monologue at the top of the show, Kimmel presented an excited defense of freedom of expression, and the Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee and President Donald Trump and explained his comments about responding to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kerk.
“I never intended to shine the killing of a young man,” said Kimmel, his emotion, “I never intended to light the killing of a young man.” “I don’t think anything is funny about this.”
He said, as he said, his intention was to blame any specific group, saying that he understood, for some, this is what he appeared.
Kimmil criticized the data of the Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee, Brendan Car, describing them to make efforts in “non -American” censorship and thanked his supporters, and his comedy colleague late at night to the conservatives, such as Ben Shapiro and Ted Cruz, for speaking it.
“This offer is not important,” Kimmel said. “The important thing is that we live in a country that allows us to show like this.”
Monuhouj closed another emotional note, referring to the observations made by Erika Kirk in the service of her late husband’s memorial on Sunday, which she said was forgiving his suspect’s killer.
Kimmel said: “I have depth me, and if there is anything that we must take from this tragedy to go forward, I hope that – and not this.”
Walt Disney, the parent company of ABC, has announced the return of the offer late at night “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” In a statement on Monday, saying that they participated in “studied talks” with Kimmel during the break.
“We made a decision to suspend production at the exhibition to avoid more amplification in a tense condition in an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision that we made because we felt that some comments were unwanted and therefore not sensitive,” Disney said in a statement. “We have spent the last days of studied talks with Jimmy, and after these talks, we reached the decision to re -display on Tuesday.”
Before broadcasting a show on Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized Kimmel and ABC.

Trump posted on the social media platform: “I cannot believe that ABC’s fake news gave Jimmy Kimil his job.”
“Why do they want someone to return very badly, and who is not funny,” he added.
ABC previously announced on September 17 that the Kimmel show will be anti -named after the comments made by Kimmel last week regarding the death of conservative activist Charlie Kerk.
Before announcing the network decision last week, Carm suggested that Kimmel be suspended about the comments.
“There are calls for shooting on Kimmel. I think, as you know, you can definitely see a way forward to comment on this and again, as you know, the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) will get ways that we can look at,” said Car Ali Podcast with conservative commentator Benny Johnson.
The unions that represent the entertainment professionals and television book condemned this step.
