Jimmy Kimmel's Comeback: A Celebrity-Studded Return

Jimmy Kimmel is making his return to late-night TV after a brief hiatus. The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been off the air since ABC suspended his show following some controversial remarks. But now, he's back, and the entertainment world is buzzing. Instead of addressing the suspension directly on social media, Kimmel posted a heartfelt tribute to the late comedy legend Norman Lear. This post caught the attention of many celebrities, who rushed to support Kimmel in the comments section. Jamie Foxx expressed his pride, saying, \"God bless he’s looking down. Proud of you. \" Rosie O'Donnell encouraged Kimmel, writing, \"Kill it tonight - feel all the love ❤️\" Other stars like Phil Rosenthal, Alyssa Milano, and Justin Theroux also shared their thoughts, remembering Lear and showing their support for Kimmel. Kimmel and Lear had worked together on several projects, and Kimmel had praised Lear's legacy after his passing in 2023. By honoring Lear, Kimmel seemed to make a subtle statement about his own situation. The first episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! since the suspension will air on September 23 at 11:35 p. m. ET. However, not everyone will be able to tune in, as Sinclair Broadcast Group will continue to preempt the show on its ABC affiliate stations. Despite this, many viewers are expected to watch, eager to see Kimmel's first monologue since his return.
