Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took a conciliatory tone in his return to TV Tuesday night, choking up at several points and saying "it was never my intention to make light of the death of a young man." Addressing the controversy about his remarks last week over the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Kimmel said he understood that to some his comments may have seemed "either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset." President Donald Trump, in a social media post just minutes before Kimmel's show aired, floated the prospect of unspecified future legal challenges against ABC over Kimmel's return, calling him an arm of the Democratic Party.
