Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel supported each other by stopping by the other's late-night talk show Tuesday.
The pair discussed what it was like to learn about Colbert's Late Show cancellation and Jimmy Kimmel Live's brief suspension, which ignited free speech protests before ABC reinstated the talk show.
"We got nominated (for an Emmy) the day before we got canceled," Colbert recalled on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
"I was absolutely shocked, because it's not right," Kimmel said of his reaction to the news.
