"Well guys, the big story is that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the FCC, leaving everyone thinking WTF. This morning I woke up to 100 text messages from my dad saying I'm sorry they cancelled your show. I go, that's not me, that's Jimmy Kimmel," she said.

The host further mentioned, "But to be honest with you all, I don't know what's going on. And no one does, but I do know Jimmy Kimmel, and he's a decent, funny, and loving guy, and I hope he comes back. Yeah, a lot of people are worried that we won't keep saying what we want to say or that we'll be censored, but I'm going to cover the president's trip to the UK just like I normally would."
