Jimmy Kimmel hosted ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on September 23, 2025, delivering a 15-minute monologue that addressed his five-day suspension over jokes about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He clarified his intent was not to blame any group for the actions of the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, and emphasized violence solves nothing, while thanking conservative figures like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul for opposing government overreach by President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Major ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair and Nexstar refused to broadcast the episode, affecting 25% of U.S. households, leading Democratic lawmakers including Senator Elizabeth Warren to launch an investigation into potential political pressure.
