"Jimmy Kimmel's first monologue after his show returned from suspension got a warm reception on MSNBC right after it aired, drawing effusive praise from the host and panelists on Tuesday's episode of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle. Jimmy Kimmel Live! was indefinitely suspended by ABC after comments Kimmel made about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk."
"President Donald Trump and other Republicans lauded the suspension while Kimmel's supporters denounced it as censorship, since it came in the aftermath of vociferous criticism from the president and comments from his Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr that his agency can do this the easy way or the hard way if companies don't find ways to change conduct and take action."
Jimmy Kimmel returned to the air after an indefinite ABC suspension tied to comments about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged in the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The monologue received a warm reception on MSNBC and drew effusive praise from that show's host and panelists. The suspension prompted contrasting reactions: Republican praise and threats, including from President Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, and complaints of censorship from Kimmel's supporters. Disney reinstated the show after conversations with Kimmel, while Nexstar and Sinclair declined to air the episode on many local ABC affiliates. Kimmel apologized and emphasized he did not intend to make light of Kirk's death.
