Headline: Jimmy Kimmel recalls moment he found out his show was being suspended
Caption: ABC executives suspended the TV personality's show on 17 September over comments he made about the assassination of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk. After a significant backlash, Kimmel returned to the air on 23 September after a six-day suspension. Giving his first interview about the situation on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, Kimmel revealed that he received a call from ABC bosses an hour and a half before he was scheduled to tape his show and he went into a bathroom for privacy.
