What will Jimmy Kimmel have to say once the late-night talk show host is back on air? That's the question on many viewers' minds.
Since "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was suspended "indefinitely" by ABC nearly a week ago, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, reactions and statements of support from government officials, Hollywood stars, and late-night talk show hosts poured in. Stephen Colbert, whose CBS late-night talk show was recently canceled, called Kimmel's suspension "blatant censorship," and Jon Stewart said ABC's decision was an "unprecedented consolidation of power and unitarian intimidation."
Kimmel was suspended over his comments regarding Charlie Kirk's death, his politics and President Donald Trump's reaction to the Sept. 10 fatal shooting. (Here's the full transcript of what Kimmel said during his Sept. 15 show.)

The suspension followed comments by Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, who called the monologue a "very, very serious issue right now for Disney" and said there were some "calls for Kimmel to be fired." Trump congratulated the suspension and said it was "great news for America."
