Jimmy Kimmel made his return to late-night TV on Tuesday, to the delight of the audience on hand but to the dismay of President Donald Trump.
Kimmel was briefly suspended from hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after controversial remarks he made following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. ABC suspended the program after Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group companies that own multiple ABC stations said they would preempt the show.
On Monday, ABC announced Kimmel could return. Before his return on Tuesday, Sinclair and Nexstar said they would follow through with blocking the program from airing in dozens of markets.
