Radio legend Howard Stern has jokingly taken credit for 'solving' the crisis surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, which saw the late-night host return to television this week. Stern's comments came as a chorus of high-profile voices, including the hosts of The View, slammed ABC and the US government over what they called a serious threat to free speech.
The popular programme was suspended on Wednesday after the TV host made statements regarding Charlie Kirk's death that were considered 'offensive.' Following nearly a week of rallies where Americans voiced apprehensions over freedom of speech, Jimmy Kimmel Live! returned to television, despite Sinclair-owned stations declaring they would not restart broadcasting the programme.
