Breaking news on Jimmy Kimmel and
autism.
>> Jimmy Kimmel coming back to late night
television.
>> ABC chose to bring back their lowrating
nighttime host.
>> We are in for a monologue that will be a
marker in late night show history.
>> It's going to be in a moment.
>> Yeah, no question. A huge moment in
American history.
>> It's one of the most pivotal moments in
broadcast history.
>> He will be delivering what is being
dubbed the most anticipated monologue in
late night in years.
Revolution change you
>> from Hollywood. It's Jimmy Kimmel L
tonight. Glenn Power and music from
Sarah McCluck with Cleo and the Cleones.
And now Jimmy Kimble.
[Applause]
Heat up
here.
Heat.
Heat.
Thank you. Thank you.
>> Anyway, as I was saying before I was
interrupted.
If you're just joining us, we are
preempting your regularly scheduled
encore episode of Celebrity Family Feud
to bring you this special report. I'm
happy to be here tonight with you.
Please be seated.
I'm not sure who had a weirder 48 hours,
me or the CEO of Tylenol.
It's uh it's been overwhelming. I've
heard from a lot of people over the last
six days. I've heard from all the people
over in the world over the last six
days. Everyone I have ever met has
reached out 10 or 11 times. Weird
characters from my past are the guy who
fired me from my first radio job in
Seattle where we are not airing tonight
by the way. Sorry Seattle. His name is
Larry. In 1989, Larry tried to force me
to do a bit called jokes for donuts
where people would call in with a joke
and I would give them donuts. I refused
to do it and then I made a lot of fun of
Larry for suggesting it and eventually
Larry fired me and I had to move back in
with my parents. But even he wrote in to
cheer me up. Thank you, Larry. And I
want to thank everyone who checked in.
It would take all week to list all of
them, but
some that I do especially want to
mention are my fellow late night talk
show hosts, my friend Steven Colbear,
>> who's found himself in this predicament.
My friends John Stewart, Seth Myers,
Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Conan
O'Brien, James Cordon, Arino, Kathy,
Wanda, Chelsea, even Jay reached out. I
heard from late night hosts in other
countries from Ireland and from Germany.
The guy in Germany offered me a job. Can
you imagine?
This country has become so
authoritarian. The Germans are like,
"Come here. Come loose."
My boyhood idols Howard Stern and David
Letterman were very considerate and
kind. And I feel honored to be part of a
group of people that knows what goes
into doing a show like this. And I also
want to thank all of you
thanks to
who supported our show, cared enough to
do something about it, to make your
voices heard so that mine could be
heard. I will never forget it. And maybe
weirdly,
maybe maybe most of all, I want to thank
the people who don't support my show and
what I believe, but support my right to
share those beliefs anyway.
[Music]
people who I never would have imagined
like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace
Owens, Mitch McConnell, Ran Paul, even
my old pal Ted Cruz, who believe it or
not said something very beautiful on my
behalf. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I
am thrilled that he was fired.
>> Oh, wait. No, not that. The the other
part. But let me tell you, if the
government gets in the business of
saying
>> can't say
>> what you, the media, have said, "We're
going to ban you from the airwaves if
you don't say what we like." That will
end up bad for conservatives.
>> I don't think I've ever said this
before, but Ted Cruz is right. He's
absolutely right. This affects
all of us, including him. I mean, think
about it. If Ted Cruz can't speak
freely, then he can't cast spells on the
Smurfs.
Even though I I don't agree with many of
those people on most subjects, some of
the things they say even make me want to
throw up. It takes courage for them to
speak out against this administration,
and they did, and they deserve credit
for it. And thanks um for telling your
followers
that our government
cannot be allowed to control what we do
and do not say on television and that we
have to stand up to it. I've been
hearing a lot about what I need to say
and do tonight. And the truth is I don't
think what I have to say is going to
make much of a difference. If you like
