He thanked the president &#8220;for all the many ridiculous things you do,&#8221; saying recent events gave his show plenty to cover when it returns to air. Kimmel also acknowledged actors and producers who supported his program after it was briefly suspended in september over controversial remarks about the assassin of Charlie Kirk; the show returned on Sept. 23. During his return monologue he praised KirkS widow, Erika Kirk, for forgiving her husband&#8217;s killer and urged people to follow her example. Kimmel joked about the future of late-night TV, predicting Sean Evans&#8217; Hot Ones might be &#8220;the only one left,&#8221; while noting his own show has been renewed through May 2027. The piece contrasts Kimmel&#8217;s continued run wiht The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which announced it will end in May.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jimmy Kimmel thanks &lsquo;Donald Jennifer Trump&rsquo; after winning Critics Choice award<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2455886\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Comedian and late night TV host <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4361959\/jimmy-kimmel-tyranny-booming-us-alternative-christmas-message\/\">Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> mockingly thanked President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4406301\/congress-to-be-briefed-on-venezuela-strikes\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> during an award acceptance speech on Sunday, several months after their feud reached new heights.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3812881\/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-charlie-kirk-comments\/\"><em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> was briefly suspended in September<\/a> following Kimmel&rsquo;s controversial remarks on Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s assassin, claiming &ldquo;the MAGA gang&rdquo; is trying to distance itself from Kirk&rsquo;s killer.
