Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> <\/a>has a surprising supporter in his corner after his late night show was pulled from air and then reinstated following his Charlie Kirk<\/strong> assassination comments.<\/p>\n

During her appearance on the Thursday, September 25 edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!,<\/em><\/a> guest Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/strong><\/a>, 64, brought her family\u2019s puppy Ethel along.<\/p>\n

Explaining why she brought the dog to the interview, Louis-Dreyfus remarked it had been a big week and Ethel was \u201ca big fan of the First Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em><\/a> off air two days after Kimmel caused a stir for comments<\/a> about Kirk\u2019s accused killer, Tyler Robinson<\/strong>. (Kirk, a controversial conservative commentator, was fatally shot<\/a> on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was 31.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are weighing in on Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s return to late night TV following his talk show\u2019s suspension. \u201cJimmy Kimmel returned to his show last night, and listen, we know him personally, and when I tell you he\u2019s one of the kindest, most generous people I know,\u201d Consuelos, 54, said at the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live<\/em> will be pre-empted indefinitely<\/a>,\u201d an ABC spokesperson confirmed to Us Weekly<\/em> on September 17.<\/p>\n

In his September 15 monologue, Kimmel, 57, accused conservatives of reaching \u201cnew lows\u201d by trying to claim that Robinson, 22, was part of the far-left, after Utah Governor Spencer Cox<\/strong> said on NBC\u2019s Meet the Press<\/em> one day prior that the alleged killer had a \u201cleftist ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MAGA Gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,\u201d Kimmel said during his talk show. \u201cIn between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show returned<\/a> to its regular slot on Tuesday, September 23 and managed to triple its audience despite not airing in 23 per cent of the country due to media groups Sinclair and Nexstar continuing to preempt the show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Louis-Dreyfus also touched on lighter topics while appearing on the late night talk show, including her iconic \u201cbad dance\u201d from her role as Elaine in Seinfeld<\/em>, which ran from 1989 to 1998.<\/p>\n
