Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been greeted with a standing ovation as he thanks those who stood up for his show, upon his return to screens .

Kimmel was taken off air due to comments about the shooting of right-wing speaker Charlie Kirk.

The star was met with a standing ovation and a chorus of "Jimmy" from the crowd.

"I'm not sure who had a weirder 48 hours, me or the CEO of Tylenol," Kimmel started, before getting earnest and thanking his fanbase.

"Thanks to those who supported this show, who cared enough to do something about it, to make your voices heard so that mine could be heard," he said.

"I will never forget.

"And weirdly, maybe most of all, I want to thank the people who don't support my show and what I believe in but support my right to share those beliefs anyway."
