Jimmy Kimmel Live returned to air just over two weeks ago after ABC and Disney suspended the show after Jimmy Kimmel criticized right-wingers for trying to “score political points” off the murder of Charlie Kirk in a monologue. During an interview at the Bloomberg Screentime media conference in Hollywood, Kimmel extended criticism towards the distorted reception of his comments about the right-wing influencer.

When asked whether he felt his remarks were mischaracterized, Kimmel said, “I didn’t feel like it. It was. It was intentionally, and I think maliciously, mischaracterized.” The host “didn’t think there was a big problem” following his monologue, noting, “I just saw it as distortion on the part of some of the right-wing media networks and I aimed to correct it.”
