Jimmy Kimmel to Appear on ‘The View’ Next Week

Jimmy Kimmel will join the talk show The View on November 13, marking one of his rare appearances on a talk show since returning to the airwaves in late September. The ABC host will appear remotely, broadcasting from Los Angeles, while The View is filmed in New York.

The episode will air on Thursday, coinciding with the celebration of moderator Whoopi Goldberg’s birthday.

Background on Suspension

After Kimmel’s unexpected suspension in December, The View hosts remained silent for a few days, leading to speculation that the network directed them not to comment. However, the following week, they clarified that this was not the case.

“Did y’all really think we weren’t going to talk about Jimmy Kimmel?” Whoopi Goldberg said. “I mean, have you watched the show over the last 29 seasons? So you know no one silences us.”

Whoopi explained that they were simply waiting to see if Kimmel would address the situation first.

Hosts’ Reaction to Suspension

The co-hosts openly criticized the suspension, suggesting political pressure influenced the decision.

“To be clear, you can not like a show and it can go off the air. Someone can say something they shouldn’t, and get taken off the air. But the government cannot apply pressure to force someone to be silenced,” Whoopi stated.

The remarks highlighted concern about political interference in broadcasting freedom.

Summary: Jimmy Kimmel will remotely appear on The View amid ongoing discussions about his past suspension, which the show’s hosts linked to political pressure.
