Jimmy Kimmel fought back tears as he tried to explain his statement on Charlie Kirk in his first show back on ABC since he was suspended over his comments about the late TPUSA founder.
'It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,' he said, while fighting back tears. 'I don’t think there's anything funny about it.'
He referenced his post to Instagram sending love to Kirk's family and said he still does.
Kimmel then tried to explain what he said about Kirk but did not directly apologize.
He thanked his fellow talk show hosts, fans and even conservatives who defended him.
