“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

What Did Kimmel Say on Air?

Kimmel’s comments on air addressed the shooting of popular far-right influencer Charlie Kirk. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said on Wednesday, September 15.

The majority of Kimmel’s comments focused less on the shooter than on Donald Trump’s reaction to the murder. Watch the clip above.
