Jimmy Kimmel Live! is in the middle of its first full week of shows since its host was unceremoniously suspended by ABC over on-air comments, and he and fellow embattled last night host Stephen Colbert extended their bromance by guesting on each other’s talk shows. While sitting on the Late NIght couch, Kimmel gave a very detailed breakdown of the unpredictable chaos that went down the afternoon he was suspended, including the undeniably adorable way one of his kids reacted. (The other kid’s reaction? Slightly less wholesome.)
The way he tells it, the timing of ABC’s decision couldn’t have happened at a more awkward time, as the guests were en route to the studio, where the seats were already filled up with ready and eager audience members. As such, the studio had to be emptied, and Kimmel & Co. had to vacate posthaste. He notes that it didn’t help anyone’s stress levels to be followed back to their home by two helicopters.
