IDK pretty sure the first through the eleventieth billion amendment predicts the coming of an orange that'll assume the highest office in the universe, make everything great, and thus no one will be able to say a single bad thing about him. /s

On a serious note, I agree with Kimmel. It was a moving opening monologue and while I've never been a huge fan of Kimmel, I don't disagree with him it's his style of humor isn't mine, I absolutely think he has a right to say this. If a Fox "News" host can say people should be murdered, live on TV, I think Kimmel is allowed to poke fun at the Sociopath in State.

Same same. I have never found him funny at all but I respect how he handled that. The 1st Amendment does not require funny.

Kimmel handled it much better than I would have. He seems like a very genuine, kind, and empathetic person. I honestly expected much more scathing, like Daily Show and John Stewart might be, but he was VERY humble and honestly it was very moving.

Same. I’d have opened up with a monologue reading all of charlie dipshit’s tweets and statements calling for violence or racism interspersed with footage of said statements and tweets. Fascists hate when you throw their own words back in their faces.

This is DISGUSTING! He MADE FUN of the President! He should be DEPORTED!

I had a two issues with his return monologue. He got all choked up apologizing about Charlie Kirk for something he never said which validates the whole issue. Then he went on to praise Disney for bringing him back.

I’m glad he criticized Trump but he also gave this nonsense power too.

I was going to watch this episode, but it was not showing in my local area. I guess I am never going to watch ABC again until that changes.

You must have a Sinclair or Nexstar owned ABC affiliate
