Nexstar Media Group will restore Jimmy Kimmel Live! to its 24 ABC affiliates beginning tonight, ending a preemption of the show over a joke by the host about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

During his second night back on the air, Jimmy Kimmel fired back at President Donald Trump's threat to sue ABC following the late-night show's return.

ABC announced on Sept. 17 that it had suspended Kimmel's late-night show "indefinitely" after he made comments about Kirk's death.

Jimmy Kimmel is back on his late-night stage — and full of emotion. After a nearly week-long suspension, the ABC star taped a new episode on Tuesday evening, and he spoke at length about the controversy that enveloped the show, according to audience members who spoke with CNN afterward.

Any comments Jimmy Kimmel makes against Trump are expressly covered under a “media exemption” in campaign finance law, legal experts argue.
