Jimmy Kimmel almost wept and insisted he never intended to mock Charlie Kirk as the late-night television host returned to screens almost a week after being dragged off air.
He had been suspended indefinitely by Disney for comments he made about the death of the conservative influencer, who was shot in Utah this month.
President Trump led conservative critics, while TV station owners across America vowed to boycott Jimmy Kimmel Live! and continue doing so after the host’s return was announced.
