Jimmy Kimmel returned to host "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday, September 9, 2026, following his annual hiatus. In his opening monologue, Kimmel humorously compared his summer to President Donald Trump's, quipping that both accomplished "nothing all summer long." He specifically targeted the president's appearance, joking about his changing hair color and aging in reverse, likening him to a "Benjamin Glutton."
The comedian also touched upon his show's significant achievement, celebrating the 4,000th episode. Kimmel directly addressed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, asserting that the show had overcome regulatory challenges, implying past attempts by the FCC to interfere with its longevity. This return follows reports from Page Six suggesting the show's imminent end, which ABC Entertainment has officially denied as inaccurate and speculative.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.
