Two major TV station owners, Sinclair and Nexstar, said they would return "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to the air Friday after preempting the show last week.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" went back on the air Tuesday night, but about a third of the U.S. didn't see it as ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar and Sinclair continued their preemptions of the show. Brian Steinberg, senior TV editor for Variety, joins "The Takeout" to break down the key moments from Kimmel's return.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" had been preempted on Wednesday following comments Kimmel made on the show in response to the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
ABC's announcement came as media giants Nexstar and Sinclair announced they would preempt Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely on all their stations over his remarks.
