Its host kicked things off with a tearful monologue<\/a>, during which he touched on the show’s brief suspension<\/a>, President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s response and the support he’s seen from across political parties since.<\/p>\n Now, during the Wednesday, Sept. 24 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark<\/em>, Ripa and Consuelos, both 54, opened up about the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> the night before and revealed what they thought about Kimmel’s message.<\/p>\n “Jimmy Kimmel returned to his show last night. And you know, listen \u2014 we know him personally and when I tell you he\u2019s one of the kindest, most generous people that I know. Cares about his family, takes care of his crew, his staff, everybody. He really, really cares. Kelly: He cares about people,” Consuelos said, as Ripa added that Kimmel “cares about people.”<\/p>\n “And his statements last night, I think, were on point. He understands both sides, he was very humble in his speech,” Consuelos said.<\/p>\n
