Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s return was met with praise from everyone, including Ben Stiller and Stephen Colbert, for his brilliant monologue.
Kimmel Returns to Screen
The wait for Jimmy Kimmel Live! lasted nearly a week, after ABC abruptly removed the show indefinitely.
On Tuesday night, September 23rd, Kimmel returned standing in front of the “On Air” sign.
The audience welcomed his return with open arms, eagerly awaiting his return with his powerful style and wonderful surprises.
Echoes of an Emotional Monologue
In the show’s first episode, Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue, opening his heart.
He explained in detail why the show abruptly ended after his Instagram post about Charlie Kirk’s murder.
The emotional moment and the distance between the tough decisions in his voice once again showed viewers his simplicity.
Ben Stiller’s Support
On X (formerly Twitter), Ben Stiller wrote, “What a brilliant monologue from Jimmy Kimmel.”
This simple yet straightforward post was proof that even Hollywood’s biggest stars value Kimmel’s talent and honesty.
Their testimonials reassured fans that Kimmel struck the right tone.
Don Lemon’s Opinion
CNN anchor Don Lemon shared the video on Instagram, saying, “It was fantastic.
He hit the right tone, and that’s a pro. A real professional.” Lemon also condemned those who were conspiring to frame Kimmel.
He also supported the political commentary hidden in Kimmel’s jokes and reminded fans that they truly have a right to raise issues like ‘Release the Epstein files.’
Congratulations from Stephen Colbert and others
CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrote on his Late Show account, “Welcome back, brother.”
This short line perfectly encapsulated the friendship and mutual respect between the two hosts.
Several celebrities, including Melanie Griffith, Jamie Foxx, and Walton Goggins, congratulated Kimmel on Instagram and expressed their joy at his return.
ABC’s Return Strategy
On September 17th, ABC had decided to pull the plug on the show, but the company reversed course in a statement on September 23rd.
The statement stated that some comments were “ill-timed and insensitive,” which is why production was initially halted.
Later, they felt it was necessary to bring it back on air to de-escalate tensions and allow viewers to focus on real issues.
Trump’s Mocking
Meanwhile, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.”
He claimed that the show’s audience is no longer the same and that Kimmel’s talent “was never what it once was.”
Trump’s comments sparked a new debate on social media.
The Way Forward
The question now is what unexpected topics and stories will be presented in Kimmel’s next episodes.
His supporters believe his return has restored not only the show but also the glory of late-night TV.
