Kimmel was taken off the air Wednesday after the community and affiliate stations deemed his feedback about Charlie Kirk’s killer to be unsuitable for air.
“You don’t get canceled saying standard issues,” Leno mentioned. “Often, it’s the reality that winds up getting canceled, so we’ll see what occurs.”
“It’s a comic speaking. In case you don’t prefer it, don’t watch it,” he added. “That’s the market. Let the folks determine. If folks like a present, it stays on the air.”
