If you’ve been keeping up with late-night television, you might have heard that Disney briefly suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show following some controversial comments he made about the alleged assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. It looks like Jimmy Kimmel Live is back on the air, and Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, had some thoughts about it.
Colbert held up the Emmy Award his show had recently won and said, “You know, I’m so happy for them. Plus, now that Jimmy’s not being canceled, I get to enjoy this again”. He followed that up with his witty comment about being the “only martyr in late-night”. The whole situation began last week when Kimmel made remarks about the suspect in the Kirk assassination, implying that the administration wanted to make him seem less like a MAGA member.
