YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took a conciliatory tone in his return to TV Tuesday night, choking up at several points and saying “it was never my intention to make light of the death of a young man.”

Back on the stage of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show after a weeklong suspension, the longtime host was at times somber and emotional in remarks about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But he didn’t shy away from poking fun at President Donald Trump and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr in making an impassioned case for free speech.
