Jimmy Kimmel has insisted it was "never [his] intention to make light of" Charlie Kirk's death.
The 57-year-old presenter looked emotional as he delivered his lengthy monologue to open the first Jimmy Kimmel Live! show since the long-running ABC chat programme was pulled off the air last week following his comments about right-wing activist Kirk - who was gunned down in Utah on September 10 - and Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of killing him.
