The world of late-night is happy to have Jimmy Kimmel back.

Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert are celebrating ABC's decision to bring back "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" less than a week after suspending the show due to comments the host made after the killing of Charlie Kirk.

On "The Daily Show," Stewart reacted to the news by mocking those who argued the suspension was unrelated to pressure ABC faced from the Federal Communications Commission.

"It was rather shocking that this turnaround occurred, because I was told that the original decision to get rid of Jimmy had nothing to do with the Trump administration and their explicit FCC threat that they could remove the show the easy way or the hard way," Stewart said sarcastically.

The comedian also joked about the push to boycott Disney, the parent company of ABC, by canceling subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu.

"That campaign that you all launched pretending that you were going to cancel Hulu, while secretly racing through four seasons of 'Only Murders in the Building,' that really worked," he quipped.

"Wasn't it interesting to try and figure out all the tentacles Disney has in your daily life?" he added. "It's one thing to swear off cruises, but the Avengers? How is it possible that by getting rid of one company, I can't watch Winnie-the-Pooh or 'Monday Night Football'? Or listen to early Hilary Duff?"

ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after Kimmel said that the "MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize" Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as "anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, argued Kimmel misled viewers about the politics of the alleged shooter, and while appearing on a podcast, he seemed to threaten ABC to take action. After Nexstar Media Group Inc. said it would stop airing Kimmel on its ABC affiliates, Disney suspended production of Kimmel's show indefinitely.

But following days of outrage, Disney announced on Sept. 22 that Kimmel's show will return.

The company said it "made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation" and "because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive." But Disney added that it decided to end the suspension after spending "the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy."

All of the major late-night hosts had previously delivered monologues standing by Kimmel and decrying his suspension as an example of government censorship. Carr, meanwhile, has denied that the FCC played any role in Kimmel's removal from TV.

"Jimmy Kimmel is in the situation that he is in because of his ratings, not because of anything that's happened at the federal government level," Carr maintained at a forum in New York on Sept. 22.

Seth Meyers celebrates Kimmel's return: 'It is possible to stand up' to 'bullying and censorship'

On NBC, Meyers applauded Disney's decision to bring back "our friend" Kimmel, which he learned about minutes before he started taping his show.

The "Late Night" host pointed to this as an example of how "it is possible to stand up" to "bullying and censorship" from the Trump administration.

"There has been a massive national backlash to Trump's crackdown on free speech, even among conservatives," he said, adding that the majority of Americans can agree that the president shouldn't be "dictating what TV hosts can and can't say."

Meyers, who has been personally targeted by Trump after the president urged NBC to cancel "Late Night," also defended the number of jokes he makes about Trump on his show. He argued he regularly mocked former President Joe Biden, too, but it was "harder" with Biden because "he didn't say much," whereas Trump talks "all the time."

"Yes, comedy shows make jokes about the president," Meyers said. "You know why? Because he's the president. He's the most powerful, most famous person on the planet, and in this particular case, he's a billionaire, and his party controls everything. You want us to make the exact same number of jokes about Chuck Schumer that we make about Donald Trump? The only person who would enjoy that is Chuck Schumer, and there's no chance he's awake at 12:37."

Stephen Colbert explains why Disney 'folded' in Kimmel controversy

On CBS, Stephen Colbert, whose "The Late Show" was canceled in July, reacted to Kimmel's return by jokingly declaring, "Once more, I am the only martyr in late-night! Unless … CBS, you want to announce anything?"

Colbert told viewers "our long national late-nightmare is over" and called Kimmel's return "wonderful news." He also joked that "now that Jimmy's not being canceled," he can go back to enjoying his recent Emmy win for outstanding talk series.

The "Late Show" host concluded Disney "folded" because "you, the American people, were upset" by the decision and threatening to cancel subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu.

"Anyway, welcome back, Jimmy," he said. "Long may you wave."
