Jimmy Kimmel said the past year felt like a 'near-death experience' for him as reflected on the controversy over remarks he made in the wake of the murder of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.
Kimmel, 58, looked back on his setbacks in a moment of triumphant after he won the award for Best Talk Show.
The honor marked only the second win at the Critics Choice Awards for Kimmel.
While speaking to reporters after his big win, the comedian referenced when his series Jimmy Kimmel Live was taken off the air by ABC for six days in response to threats from two broadcast groups that own multiple ABC affiliate stations.
'It was almost a near-death experience for me. Of course, not literally, but I did feel a little bit like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn watching their own funeral, when all this stuff happened,' he said, according to People.
'To be here and to see that people reacted to it in not just a positive way, but in almost a desperate way, we're like, "Oh boy, when they come after the comedians, this is when we draw the line,"' he continued. 'We're very grateful that they drew the line at us.'

'It was almost a near-death experience for me. Of course, not literally, but I did feel a little bit like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn watching their own funeral, when all this stuff happened,' he told reporters after his win, according to People
Charlie Kirk, pictured in 2020, was assassinated on September 10 at the age of 31 during one of his famous on-campus debates at Utah Valley University, and Kimmel was taken off the air days later over remarks he made about the aftermath
Kimmel also alluded to the controversy in his acceptance speech.
'Thank you to all the writers and actors and producers and union members, many of you who are in this room, who supported us, who really stepped forward for us, and reminded us that we do not take free speech for granted in this city or this country,' he said.
He concluded with some final — sarcastic — words of thanks Donald Trump, who has complained repeatedly about Kimmel and other late-night comedians on social media.
'Most of all, I wanna thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom we would be going home empty-handed tonight,' Kimmel said.
'So thank you, Mr. President, for all the many ridiculous things you do each and every day,' he continued. 'It's been a banner couple of weeks, and we can't wait to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them.'
Kimmel was taken off the air in the aftermath of Kirk's assassination in September 2025, as he delivered a monologue claiming the 'MAGA gang' was 'desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.'
He also accused them of 'working very hard to capitalize on the murder', before claiming Trump was grieving like a 'four-year-old mourns a goldfish'.
Conservative activist Kirk was assassinated September 10 at the age of 31 during one of his famous on-campus debates at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with his murder after allegedly firing from a rooftop during Kirk's speech.
'To be here and to see that people reacted to it in not just a positive way, but in almost a desperate way, we're like, "Oh boy, when they come after the comedians, this is when we draw the line,"' he continued. 'We're very grateful that they drew the line at us'

Best Talk Show: Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Disney-owned ABC took his show off the air in response after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned the network its license could be at risk because of Kimmel's content.
Trump later suggested that if any TV networks only give him bad press 'maybe their license should be taken away.'
The controversy sparked backlash and protests, with the White House accused of infringing on free speech and freedom of the press.
Disney faced immense pressure from Hollywood stars after suspending Kimmel. Singer Olivia Rodrigo was also among 400 stars to sign an ACLU open letter supporting free speech and condemning Disney's decision.
Less than a week later, Kimmel returned to his show, and, in an emotional monologue where he appeared close to tears, said that he wasn't trying to joke about the killing of Kirk.
'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, and that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,' Kimmel said.
'I don't think there's anything funny about it.'
He added that he wasn't trying to blame any specific group 'for the actions of what ... was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.'

He said he understood his remarks last week to some 'felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both.'
Kimmel thanked many supporters, including fellow late-night hosts past and present and even a former boss at a radio station in Seattle who checked in with him last week.
He also singled out people he knows aren't fans of his comedy but stood up for his right to speak, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
The show returned to huge ratings in its first night back, but quickly returned to what it was before.
Kimmel's wife and head writer, Molly McNearney, has previously admitted that she and her husband had thought his career was effectively over.
But his show has secured a one-year contract extension, keeping him on air until May 2027.
The awards ceremony also featured a special moment for Timothée Chalamet, as he had his crowning moment when he won Best Actor and publicly declared his love for his girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
The 30-year-old actor beat out living legend Leonardo DiCaprio as he was recognized for his work in ping pong drama Marty Supreme at the gala held in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday.
A24's Marty Supreme did lose the top honor to DiCaprio's One Battle After Another - which was produced by Warner Bros. - at the end of the night as the field also included: Bugonia (Focus Features), Frankenstein (Netflix), Hamnet (Focus Features), Jay Kelly (Netflix), Sentimental Value (Neon), Sinners (Warner Bros.), Train Dreams (Netflix), and Wicked: For Good (Universal Pictures)

The other nominees included Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).
However, it was DiCaprio's film One Battle After Another, which was produced by Warner Bros. that earned Best Picture.
Other Best Picture competitors included Bugonia (Focus Features), Frankenstein (Netflix), Hamnet (Focus Features), Jay Kelly (Netflix), Marty Supreme (A24), Sentimental Value (Neon), Sinners (Warner Bros.), Train Dreams (Netflix), and Wicked: For Good (Universal Pictures).
Paul Thomas Anderson earned Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for One Battle After Another.
Meanwhile, Jessie Buckley upset a star-studded field as she earned Best Actress for her stunning work in Hamnet.
The 36-year-old Irish actress triumphed over Emma Stone (Bugonia), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) in the hotly contested category.
On the television side, it was the HBO drama The Pitt that took home the coveted Best Drama Series award, with leading man Noah Wyle being recognized for his work in the Best Actor in a Drama Series category.
The acclaimed actor won over Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), Diego Luna (Andor), Mark Ruffalo (Task), Adam Scott (Severance) and Billy Bob Thornton (Landman).
