""It's been overwhelming. I've heard from a lot of people over the last six days," he said. "I want to thank everyone who checked in. It would take a week to list all of them, but some that I do especially want to mention are my fellow late-night talk show hosts. "I heard from late-night hosts in other countries, from Ireland and from Germany. "I feel honoured to be part of a group of people that know what goes into doing a show like this," he added."
""Hey Jimmy, it's Patrick Kielty saying a big hello from Studio 4 of RTÉ here in Dublin, Ireland, home to the Late Late Show for over 60 years," he said. "Now, during that time there have of course been many in power who have wanted our show off air, and yet our bosses have never considered shutting us down. "Tonight we're extending the hand of free speech and friendship to let you know that you're always welcome here. So if you ever need a studio or a desk or an audience or a band, we're here for you.""
Jimmy Kimmel Live! returned to air after an indefinite suspension following criticism over comments about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The host received a standing ovation and apologized, saying it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man. Kimmel thanked many people who checked in, noting outreach from fellow late-night hosts in other countries including Ireland and Germany. Patrick Kielty invited Kimmel to Ireland, offering Studio 4 of RTÉ, an audience and a band, and promising a space where Kimmel could speak freely.
