Showing Original Post only (View all)Kimmel: Jimmy Kimmel is Back! [View all]
Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air and talks about all of the people who have reached out over the last six days including fellow late night talk show hosts, fans of the show, and those who dont support what he believes but support his right to share those beliefs anyway, and he expresses that it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man, how important it is to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr telling an American company that We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Trump saying he has no talent and no ratings, being fortunate to work at a company that has allowed us to do the show we want to do for almost 23 years, not agreeing with the decision to have our show pulled off the air last Wednesday, Trump making it very clear he wants to see Jimmy and other late night hosts fired, and solidarity from the right, left and those in the middle. Then Jimmy talks to the new FCC Chairman (Robert De Niro), and gets into Trumps day addressing the United Nations, the escalator breaking, having trouble with the teleprompter, and the headache hes creating with his buddy RFK over Tylenol.

Go Jimmy! I am glad he mentioned the behind the scenes workers. That's what I've been thinking. How can you say you

Thanks! The local ABC News is not Sinclair. They even have a pet adoption segment twice a week

Kudos for your leading post which is much appreciated since it looks like it was preempted in places

It was inexplicably blocked here, too - Albany, NY - though CBS is the Sinclair station

Kimmel, writers, and even ABC did a nice job slipping back into his spot. No commercials during

Was Gavin Newsom on the show? The announcer didn't mention him when listing guests.

I'm unable to provide an answer since I don't have control over the TV when his show is on.

The show has been posted on YouTube for 6 hours and it already has over 5 million views

I knew that if Kimmel was allowed to be on air it would be a ratings bonanza for the show.
