Description

From suspension to puppies: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and a furry friend helped Jimmy Kimmel bounce back after a free speech controversy sparked by comments about Charlie Kirk. After a week off air due to FCC pressure and criticism from figures like Donald Trump, Kimmel returned with a record-breaking 6.3 million viewers and a viral monologue. The twist? He thanked Trump for the ratings boost, proving that controversy, comedy, and a cute puppy named Ethel make for unforgettable TV.
