It\u2019s been a banner couple of weeks, and we can\u2019t wait to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump and Kimmel have clashed publicly for nearly a decade, with the comedian routinely criticizing Trump\u2019s policies, personality, and supporters on his show. Trump, in turn, has repeatedly dismissed Kimmel as a partisan entertainer and \u201cratings-challenged\u201d host who uses political outrage to stay relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jimmy Kimmel pushes the narrative that President Trump is ordering ICE to kill Americans:<br><br>&quot;He isn&#39;t just killing people overseas&#8230;&quot;<br><br>&quot;Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis!

In September 2025, ABC briefly suspended Kimmel following controversial comments he made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The suspension sparked backlash from free-speech advocates on the right, who argued the network selectively enforces standards when conservatives are involved. Kimmel returned to the air just days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his acceptance speech, Kimmel thanked his wife, his producers, and members of the entertainment industry who supported him during the suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThanks to all the writers and actors and producers and union members, many of you who are in this room, who supported us, who really stepped forward and reminded us that we do not take free speech for granted in this city or in this country,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cYour actions were important. We appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics have noted the irony of Kimmel invoking free speech while routinely advocating for deplatforming or censorship of conservative voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimmel also reflected on the year during his final episode of 2025, growing emotional as he thanked viewers for their loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt has been a hard year. We\u2019ve had some lows. We\u2019ve had some highs \u2014 for me, maybe more than any year of my life, but all of us,\u201d he said through tears. \u201cThis year you literally pulled us out of a hole, and we cannot thank you enough personally, professionally\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in his closing message, Kimmel appeared unable to resist another jab at Trump and his supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThere is still much more good in this country than bad,\u201d he told viewers, \u201cand we hope that you will bear with us during this extended psychotic episode that we\u2019re in the middle of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump has not publicly responded to Kimmel\u2019s latest remarks, though allies have frequently criticized Hollywood figures for using award shows as political soapboxes while claiming to speak for \u201cthe country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/nrcc\/nrcc-america-250-membership?source_code=db-nrcc-em311-009&#038;recurring=true&#038;amtposition=3&#038;ex_tid=20260102_PU-ND.118737_t1786215-3736\">House GOP just rolled out the OFFICIAL America 250 Membership &#038; you\u2019ve been selected for a coveted spot on the roster.
