Jimmy Kimmel returned in the air Tuesday evening after almost a week suspension, but has stopped presenting complete apology for his controversial comments on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
In his emotional monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The end of the evening said that he had never intended to shed light on the death of Kirk, which occurred earlier this month during an event at the University of Utah Valley.
Kimmel tried to clarify the previous remarks suggesting that the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, was affiliated with the Maga movement.
“You understand that I have never intended to highlight a murder of a young man. I don’t think there is something funny,” Kimmel told the studio public, which gave him multiple standing ovations. “For those who think they have pointed out, I understand why you are upset.”
As he avoided direct apologies, Kimmel congratulated Kirk’s widow, Erika, for having publicly forgiven the alleged killer of her husband. “That’s it. An disinterested act of grace,” he said.
The show, suspended last week by ABC after the reactions of the Conservatives, resumed in the middle of the criticisms of former president Donald Trump and the ongoing boycotts against Disney.
Some ABC affiliates belonging to Sinclair have declared that they would not broadcast Kimmel’s program.
