But what about India?

Currently, Jimmy Kimmel Live! does not broadcast directly in India. However, clips including his widely discussed opening monologues – are regularly posted on the official Jimmy Kimmel Live! YouTube channel, making them accessible for Indian viewers. Additionally, social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are often flooded with snippets from the show.Kimmel, who returned to a warm welcome from fans, thanked his audience for their overwhelming support and addressed the controversy head-on. In his opening monologue, he said, "I don’t think what I say is going to make much of a difference. If you like me, you like me, if you don’t you don’t. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind. But I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human."He continued, "And that is you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion and I meant it. I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what a deeply disturbed individual."Becoming visibly emotional, Kimmel further clarified: "That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some it felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. For those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I would've felt the same way. I have many friends and family members on the other side, whom I would and remain close to, even though we don't agree on politics at all. I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution — and it’s not, ever."
