The surprising change comes two months after Kimmel\u2019s talk show was pulled<\/a> off the air over his comments about Charlie Kirk. A spokesperson for ABC confirmed to Us Weekly<\/em> in September that Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> would be \u201cpre-empted indefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\nKimmel spoke about<\/a> Tyler Robinson<\/strong> being arrested for Kirk\u2019s murder on the show.<\/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 he said at the time. \u201cIn between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kimmel added that President Donald Trump<\/strong> was taking the news \u201chard\u201d before showing a clip of the president talking to reporters about the White House ballroom construction after he was asked how he was coping with Kirk\u2019s tragic passing.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s at the fourth stage of grief: construction,\u201d Kimmel quipped. \u201cIt\u2019s demolition, construction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kimmel then took a dig at Trump, adding, \u201cThis is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to his show being put<\/a> on hiatus, Kimmel received an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities, including Ben Stiller<\/strong>, who retweeted an article about the controversy and added, \u201cThis isn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/p>\nSophia Bush<\/strong> also reposted the news of Kimmel being pulled off air, writing via X, \u201cThe First Amendment doesn\u2019t exist in America anymore. Fascism is here and it\u2019s chilling.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter days of discussion, the Walt Disney Company announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> would resume taping.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s been overwhelming. I\u2019ve heard from a lot of people over the last six days. I\u2019ve heard from all the people in the last six days. Everyone I have ever known has reached out 10 or 11 times,\u201d Kimmel said during his monologue. \u201cYou supported our show [and] cared enough to do something about it to make your voices heard so that mine could be heard and I will never forget it.\u201d<\/p>\n
