Following controversy over comments made by Jimmy Kimmel regarding the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” returned to ABC after a brief suspension. Sarah McLachlan appeared as the musical guest on the show’s return episode.
Kimmel faced criticism after discussing Kirk’s death and showing clips of President Trump. Some viewed Kimmel’s remarks as insensitive, leading to the show being temporarily pulled from the air.
McLachlan’s appearance on Kimmel’s show came after she canceled a performance at the premiere of a documentary about Lilith Fair, citing “solidarity in support of free speech.” McLachlan’s decision to appear on Kimmel’s show sparked debate, given her earlier stance.
