Late-Night Hosts React to Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension

Jimmy Fallon, the host of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” said in a Thursday episode that he hoped Kimmel’s show would make a comeback.

He started off the segment with a joke: “Well, guys, the big story is that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the FCC, leaving everyone thinking ‘WTF.'”

Joking about how he and Kimmel share the same first name, Fallon said he woke up to 100 text messages from his father expressing sorrow that his show was canceled.

But then he adopted a somber tone, saying, “But to be honest with you all, I don’t know what’s going on, and no one does.”

“But I do know Jimmy Kimmel, and he’s a decent, funny, and loving guy. I hope he comes back,” he said, to loud cheers and applause from the audience.
