Related: About this forumJimmy Kimmel on Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas
Jimmy responds to the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and talks about 89% of Americans wanting background checks, our cowardly leaders listening to the NRA instead of the people they actually represent, firearms becoming the #1 leading cause of death for American children and teens, Ted Cruz speaking at an NRA event this weekend, the 27 school shootings so far this year in America, and making sure that lawmakers do something about common-sense gun laws. If you can, please support Everytown in their fight against gun violence. https://www.everytown.org/

Kudos to Jimmy for speaking out, he tells it like it is, and the majority of this country agree with him

Agreed. All the late night guys weighed in on this tragedy, but Jimmy's was the best

Right. Same with Colbert, they'd already taped the majority of the show on Tuesday.

but he left it at this monologue which is more than sufficient.

And his viewers reacted appreciatively.

(205,503 posts)16. And wasn't this uploaded and posted on Wednesday night??
TexasTowelie
(112,251 posts)17. Yes, this was uploaded on Wednesday night.
The video was probably taped on Wednesday afternoon.

(205,503 posts)18. Right. Same with Colbert, they'd already taped the majority of the show on Tuesday.
And that gave them time to take in what was breaking news. This will stand as his most memorable monologue.
