  1. TLDR:

    * Stephen Colbert has shared that he’s “so proud” of Jimmy Kimmel following the return of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* on Sept. 23 after a brief suspension
    * Speaking on his own talk show — *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert* — the host praised Kimmel for talking “beautifully about free speech and unity” in his emotional opening monologue during the show’s return
    * The episode marked Kimmel’s first since the show was “indefinitely” pulled by ABC on Sept. 17

  2. Well done Jimmy…… I would think that the President of the most (ex) powerful country in the world would have other things to do than watch late night tv 🤷‍♂️ Donny could do what I do if I don’t like something switch channels or watch a movie.

  3. It was a very well-written and performed monologue. He said all the right things.

  4. Because of all this . I’m watching funny videos of the past on you tube with Kimmel . Glad he’s getting more views now . Even with Colbert .

  5. Jimmy’s line about the people needing to tell politicians what they want instead of the other way around really hit me.

  9. Two washed up has beens stroking each other’s egos. Who wouldn’t have expected that?

  11. I’m glad there’s no (internal) drama within late night anymore. They all seem like really good friends. They all congratulate each other on awards. They clearly have each other’s backs, and they’re not afraid to support each other publicly. It’s genuinely really nice. They are an example for us all.

  12. I wouldn’t be surprised if all 3 shows’ writers collaborated on his monologue. This was a pretty big f’n deal.

    Either way, the monologue was incredible and among the best late-night monologues I’ve ever seen, including shows like SNL.

  13. Ugh all you late night sell outs sucking each other off is so fucking cringe. Still can’t get over how gross The Vax Scene was 🤢

  14. Remember when Kimmel was on the Man Show where there was chicks in bikinis on trampolines? How does that guy make it here? I’m impressed.

  16. Im glad the late night hosts are friends. They all seem like good dudes.
