How Jon Stewart and more latenight hosts reacted to Jimmy Kimmel's return
"The world of late-night is happy to have Jimmy Kimmel back.
Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert are celebrating ABC's decision to bring back "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" less than a week after suspending the show due to comments the host made after the killing of Charlie Kirk.
On "The Daily Show," Stewart reacted to the news by mocking those who argued the suspension was unrelated to pressure ABC faced from the Federal Communications Commission.
"It was rather shocking that this turnaround occurred, because I was told that the original decision to get rid of Jimmy had nothing to do with the Trump administration and their explicit FCC threat that they could remove the show the easy way or the hard way," Stewart said sarcastically."
