Kimmel: Jimmy Kimmel is Back!



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 don’t 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 Trump’s day addressing the United Nations, the escalator breaking, having trouble with the teleprompter, and the headache he’s creating with his buddy RFK over Tylenol.

represent the working man when you advocate for hundreds of people losing their jobs? Plus the local businesses affected by less people spending money with them when they lose their jobs?

The local news was on till midnight but I couldn't find a sports event that delayed it. Then after a whole mess of commercials, they announced Jeopardy! I'm talking Albany, New York, and in my area the CBS affiliate is the Sinclair station!

It look like the YouTube channel received over 900,000 views within the first hour (which wouldn't include sites where it is embedded like DU). The video posted a few minutes later than usual, but after I saw the length the delay is understandable.

You wouldn't expect, like Albany, NY (here!) and Asheville, NC which is another blue area (my grandmother retired near there). And when others here were speculating if they'd get a chance to see it, I reminded them that you post Kimmel's monologue every night.

first 20+ minutes, trashing trump, conciliatory comments about Kirk family, bashing Sinclair and other groups not broadcasting show, even got emotional close the tears, etc.

I remember Jimmy filling up over his infant son's heart problems when his son was first born. Jimmy has empathy and the ability to show true feelings -UNLIKE the LIAR KING in the White House.

I'm looking for the additional clips that the show includes and so far they are not available. They were running about 5 minutes behind posting the monologue so the video clips with the guests may also be delayed.

Yes, Jimmy may benefit from having the orange loser attack his show. He handled the situation well.

Thanks for the update on the view count. I suspect that it will climb tremendously once people wake up and go into work.
