(KTLA) — Last week, ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after backlash over the late-night host’s remarks on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. While many media reports highlighted Kimmel’s Sept. 15 monologue as the catalyst, a look back at his final episodes shows he raised the topic in multiple monologues since Sept. 10.

So, what did Kimmel say about Kirk and the reaction to his killing in the days before the show was pulled?

Thursday, Sept. 11

Before guests Sean Penn and Owen Cooper joined him on stage the night after Kirk’s assassination, Kimmel opened with this commentary:

“Thank you for joining us from Los Angeles, the second-largest city in our bitterly divided nation, where, like the rest of the country, we're still trying to wrap our heads around the senseless murder of the popular podcaster and conservative activist Charlie Kirk yesterday, whose death has amplified our anger, our differences,” Kimmel said. “I've seen a lot of extraordinarily vile responses to this from both sides of the political spectrum. Some people are cheering this, which is something I won't ever understand.”

Kimmel then transitioned into a broader description of political division:

“With all these terrible things happening, you would think that our president would at least make an attempt to bring us together, but he didn't. President Obama did. President Biden did. Presidents Bush and Clinton did,” he said, while showing screenshots of former presidents’ social media statements. “President Trump did not. Instead, he blamed Democrats for their rhetoric.”
