Jimmy Kimmel says he never intended to make light of Charlie Kirk killing in tearful return

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "Our leader celebrates people losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke," Kimmel said, adding that Trump openly rooting for people to lose their jobs was "un-American" and "dangerous". Kimmel also pretended to open a statement written for him to read aloud by Disney, before reading out the words: "How to reactivate your Disney+ subscription".
25% : Kimmel was critical of Carr, who was one of the first to call for his suspension, and of Trump for calling for the axing of his fellow late-night hosts - all who are frequent Trump critics as they riff on the day's biggest news stories.
23% : About an hour before showtime, Trump said on his social media platform that he could not believe that ABC had reinstated Kimmel, saying the White House was told the show was cancelled.
8% : "Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his 'talent' was never there," Trump wrote. Trump also threatened to "test ABC out on this".
