TV host Kimmel says 'anti-American' for government to threaten comedians

TV host Jimmy Kimmel returned to U.S. screens on Tuesday after his late-night talk show was pulled off-air following government pressure on broadcasters that critics said was an attack on free speech.

"A government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn't like is anti-American," an emotional Kimmel said in a lengthy opening monologue in which he praised the public outrage over his suspension.
