“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” returned to air with an emotional monologue Tuesday night, roughly one week after the late-night show was suspended by Disney’s

ABC broadcast network.

The program was initially pulled “indefinitely” following comments by host Kimmel during a show monologue that criticized members of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement for their reaction to conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killing.

“It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” Kimmel said Tuesday, getting choked up. “I don’t think there’s anything funny about it.”
