“Jimmy Kimmel Live” returned to ABC’s late-night television on Sept. 23, after being suspended for six days over controversial remarks that the host made on air about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
The late-night show was suspended after Kimmel said in his monologue that “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk” and that “the MAGA gang” was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.” MAGA stands for President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” policy agenda.
