Jimmy Kimmel broke his silence after ABC briefly pulled his hit late night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, off the air. "Missing this guy today," he captioned an Instagram post on Tuesday, September 23, sharing a photo of himself with the late Norman Lear. (Lear, who died in December 2023, was outspoken about his support for the First Amendment.) Kimmel's social media post comes shortly before he's set to make his TV return.
