Howard Stern has checked in with Jimmy Kimmel amid the comedian’s talk show suspension.

Stern, 71, revealed during the Monday, September 22, episode of SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show that he’s “spoken to” Kimmel, 57, since ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air last week.

The radio host then shared his take on the controversy.
