Jimmy Kimmel is back with an emotional monologue: Trump, Charlie Kirk, and others

After a week-long suspension, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made his TV comeback to enthusiastic applause. He delivered an extensive monologue filled with puns and sarcasm, addressing the shooting of Trump aide Charlie Kirk and Trump himself.Kimmel, with tears in his eyes and filled with emotion, stated that Trump “tried his best” to have him canceled and emphasized that he wasn’t attempting to make light of Kirk’s murder—comments that drew controversy on his show.The ABC star exited the stage to a hero's welcome and several minutes of applause before his 20-minute monologue. “To be honest, it was damaging to the ears,” said Kevin Winhard, a participant.Kimmel, who has consistently criticized Trump, addressed the controversial issue of the shooting of Kirk, a right-wing activist, directly in his opening remarks. “I know I can’t change anyone’s mind, but I want to clarify something for my own sake: Please understand that I never meant to trivialize the murder of a young man,” Kimmel said.Kimmel further stated, with his voice breaking, "Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what... was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.

"The host of the late-night show, who has a huge global fanbase, became emotional while commending Kirk's wife, Erica, for her public forgiveness of her husband's murderer. Kimmel, with tears in his eyes, said, "I hope it can be that." Kirk, who assisted Trump in garnering support from young voters before the presidential election, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.Kimmel infuriated a portion of conservatives when he claimed on his program that Trump loyalists were "doing everything they can" to gain political advantage from the tragedy. Er warf zudem die Möglichkeit auf, dass Kirk von einem MAGA-Republikaner getötet worden sein könnte. Last week, after Republicans raised a clamor, ABC suspended Kimmel's show for an "indefinite" period. However, it had to permit 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to restart production due to backlash from Hollywood stars, media hosts, and even Republicans like Ted Cruz.Kimmel infuriated a portion of conservatives when he claimed on his program that Trump loyalists were "doing everything they can" to gain political advantage from the tragedy.
