Jimmy Kimmel calls out 'anti-American' threats to free speech in tearful TV return
Jimmy Kimmel criticizes 'anti-American' threats to free speech and addresses controversy over his comments about Charlie Kirk in a tearful return to late-night TV. The comedian accuses TV regulator of "mob tactics" and pokes fun at Trump during his Tuesday show, but faces opposition from some local stations not airing the episode. Kimmel reaffirms his intentions and praises Erika Kirk's forgiveness, while condemning Trump's response and FCC for alleged suppression of free speech.
