Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/em> \u2026 from New York!<\/p>\n \u201cWe are broadcasting to about 75 percent of the country from Los Angeles, California tonight,\u201d host Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>, 57, said in his Thursday, September 25 monologue<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOn Monday, we will be in Brooklyn for a week of big shows from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. What we have to do now is stay on the move so the FCC can\u2019t get us,\u201d the comedian, who was born in the New York City borough, quipped.<\/p>\n His joke comes after FCC chief Brendan Carr<\/strong> called for the late-night show\u2019s suspension<\/a> on Wednesday, September 17, in reaction to Kimmel\u2019s comments regarding Charlie Kirk<\/strong>\u2019s murderer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can do this the easy way or the hard way,\u201d Carr said in an interview<\/a> with Benny Johnson<\/strong>. \u201cThese companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n Disney<\/a> (which owns ABC) briefly took him off the air<\/a>, but Kimmel returned on Tuesday, September 23. He acknowledged<\/a> that his comments about Kirk may have seemed \u201cill-timed, or unclear, or maybe both\u201d to many viewers and insisted, \u201cIt was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.\u201d<\/p>\n About 70 ABC affiliates from two broadcast groups \u2014 Nexstar and Sinclair \u2014 are continuing to preempt<\/a> his show.<\/p>\n The September 23 episode earned the second-highest ratings<\/a> in the show\u2019s 22-year history.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.nationalenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-at-10.18.49-AM.png\")
