Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel revealed he never thought his show would come back during an interview with fellow host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
"It was about 3:00. We tape our show at 4:30. I’m in my office typing away as I usually do. I get a phone call. It’s ABC. They say they want to talk to me. This is unusual," Kimmel told Colbert during Colbert's show, recounting how he found out about his suspension. "I’m on the phone with ABC executives and they say 'Listen, we want to take the temperature down. We are concerned about what you’re going to say tonight, and we decided that the best route is to take the show off the air.'"
