Stephen Colbert is welcoming his pal Jimmy Kimmel back to late-night.
On the Sept. 22 episode of "The Late Show," the comedian reacted to news that ABC is ending Kimmel's suspension and bringing his show back to the air this week.
"Our long, national late-nightmare is over," Colbert declared in a preview clip shared by "The Late Show" on social media.
When Colbert announced news of Kimmel's return, his studio audience erupted in cheers. He described the lifting of Kimmel's suspension as "wonderful news for my dear friend Jimmy and his amazing staff."
Colbert also continued a bit from his Sept. 18 monologue, where he acted like he was upset that the Kimmel controversy was overshadowing news of "The Late Show" winning an Emmy for outstanding talk series.
