Kimmel does not pull strokes as he grows with Trump

In his return, Jimmy Kimmel struck a tone of sorrow because of his controversial comments about Charlie Kirk – without regret – and continued to make it clear that he would refuse to be a cow from his critics, mainly Donald Trump.

Referring to the remarks of last week, led to a short stop by Disney, the host of the talk show in late night stopped apologizing as an apology as His show returned on TuesdayS

Kimmel chose his words carefully, as he said that he had accepted that some people were feeling his remarks about Kirk’s death were “unscrupulous or unclear, or maybe both of them” and told them, “I understand why you are upset.”

Last week, the host made a cumbersome relationship between a man, suspected of shooting a conservative influence earlier this month, and the Mag’s Band, and joked that Trump’s reaction was close to “how the four-year-old mourns goldfish.”

Tuesday, Kimmel suffocated until he told viewers that “it is never my intention to extinguish the murder of a young man.” And again it was not his “intention” to “blame each particular group” for the actions of Kirk’s killer.

He stressed that he “meant this” when publishing a message sending a love to the Kirk family on Instagram last week before this line broke out.

But Kimmel was also anguish to clarify that the furore in recent days would not force him to give up on Trump’s treatment.

In fact, to be at the center of a storm for freedom of speech seems to have hardened his determination.

“This show doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we will live in a country that allows us to have a show like this,” Kimmel said to his studio audience.

After playing Trump’s video to make fun of his low ratings, the host indicated that the order had attracted great attention to his return and sent back mockery in exchange.

“He tried to cancel me,” Kimmel said. “Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show.

The host added: “The government threat to jam a comedian, which the president does not like, is anti -American” before repeating for emphasis: “This is anti -American.”

Trump signaled that Kimmel’s return would escalate his battle with both a comedian and his Disney ABC network.

Shortly before Kimmel’s return, the president wrote that the host puts his network “in danger” that Kimmel was a Democrats’ mouthpiece and is a “major illegal contribution to the campaign” and that I “think we will test ABC on the subject.”

“Let’s see how we do,” the president continued. “The last time I followed them, they gave me $ 16 million. That sounds even more so.”

This is a reference to the amount Disney paid last year to settle a defamation case Brought by Trump after the ABC anchor star falsely said that the president was found “responsible for rape”.

Disney’s decision to arrange, not to fight this court case, has since been considered by some commentators as a reinforcement of Trump to be combined with media companies.

Disney’s agreement was one of Trump’s several examples that has taken over the media in recent months – Paramount also arranged with the US President During the road, an interview with 60 minutes was presented with Kamala Harris.

But Judge tears Trump tore Case for a slander of $ 15 billion against the New York Times Last week, he referred to problems with his content and gave the Trump team for 28 days to file a modified complaint.

Kimmel also took advantage of the opportunity in his show to have fun in Disney – and is obviously in a strong enough position to make it serious, showing his resolution of the company’s decision to stop it.

“I was not pleased when I was pulled out of the air,” he said. “I disagreed with this decision and told them that.”

In the end, “they greeted me back on air and I thank them for it,” he said.

But “Unfortunately, I think it is unjustly at risk,” he continued.

Late night collaborators Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Mayers were also directed by Trump. “We have to talk against. He doesn’t stop,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel has headed for the US media regulator of FCC, attracting Robert de Niro, Trump’s most vocal critic in Hollywood – to play his new chairman and suggests that FCC is “using a free -speech suppression tactics”.

De Niro told Kimel that only praise for Trump is already free, but the insults will come at a price.

“You mean something nice about the beautiful thick yellow hair of the president and how he can make his makeup better than any wide one, it’s free,” De Niro said. “But if you want to joke like,” He’s so thick that he needs two places on Epstein’s jet, “this will cost you.” The actor struggles to suppress a smile.

Kimmel asked, “For clarity, because it’s a pretty good joke, how much would it cost me?”

“A few fingers, maybe a tooth,” the answer came.

Trump’s repetitions about Kimmel’s ratings make sense – all the shows on a late night are well under their prime and perhaps part of Kimmel enjoys the renewed relevance that this order has given him.

His supporters, surprisingly, were buried both by his jokes and by his unwavering tone.

Among the television critics and commentators, Latenighter Founder and publisher Jed Rosenzweig told the BBC News: “We will have to wait and see how it affects the debate, but Jimmy Kimmel proved last night that his strength as a presenter is not just in the story of jokes, but in the command of the room when the bets are the highest.

“It turned the return of high pressure into a monologue, which was equal parts, moving, fearless and funny.”

Dominic Patten has been declared the Hollywood News Final Website This Kimel “more than he met the moment on Tuesday – as we somehow knew he would do it.”

Kimel “came out, waving President Donald Trump in a challenging monologue,” Tommy Christopher wrote on MediaiteS

“He sounded like a man who spoke with the power of his beliefs,” Wrote Chris Vagnor on the Boston GlobeS “And now he has returned the platform. It will be fascinating to see where everything goes in the coming days and weeks.”

However, Mark Walker from New York Times noted: “Some right commentators accused the Kimmel of falsifying to suffocate while he discussed the death of G -n Kirk, while others did not believe he was excused enough.”

And Kara Kennedy of the Telegraph He was not impressed with Kimmel’s self -pitying monologue.

“The progressives may want to draw him as a martyr; but the show goes on,” she wrote. “So much for America, which deals with the edge of fascism. If this is tyranny, it comes with an ABC logo, an audience of the studio and the type of recycled jokes that make you long for the advertising vacation.”

This may be the end of Kimmel’s suspension, but it only feels like the beginning of the next phase in the increasingly lively relations between the president and the media.
