Jimmy Kimmel’s Memorable Return: Opening Monologue After Suspension

Jimmy Kimmel is back on live television and wastes no time by delivering an intriguing opening monologue. Kimmel’s long-running show was taken off the air “indefinitely” following divisive comments he made related to the death of Charlie Kirk, but ABC later reversed their decision.

Kimmel opened his show with a humorous montage of clips of reporters who have been talking about for the past 6 days. While his monologue began comedically, it quickly became very emotional and sentimental. The host teared up as he proceeded to thank all of his colleagues and fans who stood up for him. He even thanks all the conservatives who dislike him for their words of support.

In his first episode since the suspension, Kimmel made several memorable remarks. Check out his comments below:

This show is not important. What is important is that we get to have a show like this.

I’ve heard from a lot of people over the past six days. I’ve heard from all the people in the world. Everyone I’ve met reached out 10 or 11 times. Weird Characters from my past. The guy who fired me from my first radio job in Seattle.

I heard from late night hosts in other countries, from Ireland and from Germany. The guy in Germany offered me a job. Can you imagine this country has become so authoritarian, the Germans are like “Come here!”

Most of all, I want to thank the people who don’t support my show and what I believe, but support my right to share those beliefs anyways.

I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, but it isn’t.

More to come…
