Jimmy Kimmel has returned to the air after a suspension by ABC, addressing issues of free speech and responding to criticism from Donald Trump. Trump had called for Kimmel to be fired over a joke about the first lady, with some outlets reporting that the joke was about Melania Trump being an "expectant widow". Kimmel's return to the air has been marked by his defense of free speech, with some characterizing the situation as part of a broader battle over censorship and free expression.
