He continues lying about the Charlie Kirk assassination. He rails against Trump for most of his show. Never making an attempt to smooth things over with Trump. Just a bunch of unfunny jokes and more lies.
What? I thought his comments were extremely sympathetic and positive. Did you even watch? I am someone who never watches these shows and thinks Kimmel is unfunny. But I call a strike when I see one. He did a good job.

It is not illegal not to be funny. There is no reason he should kowtow to Trump. A simple solution is not to watch. Your beloved leader is a liar and so thin skinned that he wants to use the power of government to silence people who are critical. Remember this if a Democrat gets the White House (and one will) and if that person started doing the same thing.

Biden weaponized the government against republicans and pursued a ton of lawfare against Trump. Now that the shoe is on the other foot libs whine. MAGA

He almost cried on national TV and showed way more humility than I expected. He missed the chance to say "canceling people is wrong, no matter what your politics are" and did a fair amount of grandstanding over "free speech," which is not remotely what this episode is about. If anyone is worried that the Government is censoring content, we can all breathe easy, as the First Amendment prohibits it...and we have a branch of government (the courts) there to reinforce this founding principle.
He did talk a little about the other people who were threatened with unemployment as collateral damage, which he probably should have emphasized more. He thanked people who agreed with him or supported him. He missed a golden opportunity to point out that our President is also a private citizen and his anti-Kimmel screed are *also* protected under the First Amendment.
But..he gave props to Erika Kirk and highlighted her forgiveness of her husband's killer. That was the best, most valuable, part of his monologue. Nobody wins when we become further entrenched and behave like monsters in the name of righteous hatred. We don't have to "come together" and agree. We just have to get over ourselves. The parts of his message where he did that were pretty remarkable.
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.”
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.”
He didn’t say the shooter was MAGA. Read his quote again. It’s also incorrect to say he was “of the left” other than left of his Trump-supporting family.
People can’t see the nuance in all of this, but I guess you don’t get the same amount of outrage then.
Anyway, if you don’t like him, then don’t watch. If his ratings are terrible, he will get taken off soon enough. Free markets!

Sally you have a low IQ. He NEVER said the shooter was MAGA. He may have said something which made others think that he thought the shooter was MAGA but that is not the same thing as saying the shooter was MAGA. This is part of the problem in this country. Some of you never learned to understand what words mean.

Jimmy Kimmel’s exact words…
7 Days Ago: ‘the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than ONE OF THEM.’
Today: ‘I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents ANYONE.’
It's sad really. He used to be somewhat funny, then he came down with a massive case of TDS. trump this and trump that. It's old and tired, sure he will get some laughs from the Sheep in the audience. Trump is his President, no matter how hard he fights it. Ha Ha

You post a lot on here and I want to understand for that reason.
Can you comprehend that Kimmel did not specifically indicate that he believed that the shooter was Maga? Can you comprehend that Kimmel was saying that his base was trying very hard to prove that he was not part of Maga? Do you see the difference between these two? Can you understand that Kimmel was saying that the shooters affiliation is unknown, but what is known is that the shooters base if going to great lengths to say he was not Maga?
That is the crux of the matter, and this thing has been discussed at length.
I am not sure you understand the difference in these two positions.
Maybe I am not in tune with current comedy, but I fail to understand how just spouting a bunch of political propoganda qualifies as late night comedy/entertainment. This guy seems like he should go on a daytime talk show like The View, or maybe be a panelist on CNN. Replace him with Hannibal Buress, Iliza Schlesinger or someone else funny.
