Viewers were suspicious when a Texas affiliate cut into Jimmy Kimmel's pre-taped monologue addressing the state's school shooting, and now it's been ...

Nick is a Cajun Country native, and is often asked why he doesn't sound like that's the case. But WFAA’s director of digital content Pete Freedman responded to the talk show host’s message on Twitter with a limited explanation, saying: Soon after having to bow out of hosting his talk show due to testing positive for COVID, Jimmy Kimmel took a different approach to his monologue on Wednesday night.

In an emotional monologue, the late-night host urged Texas Republicans like Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz to admit fault in “killing the children in your state.”

After his monologue aired, Kimmel tweeted that the ABC affiliate in Dallas had cut away from his speech, and vowed to “find out” if it had been intentionally censored. “These are our children!” Kimmel pointed out that Republicans against gun reform are not the only people to blame. “How does this make sense to anyone?” he asked. It takes a brave person to do something like that. It takes a big person to do something like that. “There was an armed guard in Buffalo. There was an armed guard in Parkland. There was an armed guard in Uvalde. They had armed guards.

Dallas TV station WFAA has apologized for cutting off Jimmy Kimmel's emotional monologue about the Texas shooting, blaming a technical error.

In the nearly nine-minute monologue, Kimmel choked back tears as he addressed the shooting which left 19 children and two adults dead. Thanks for reposting and for correcting this error. The same technical error also impacted two commercial breaks later in the program, not just the one interrupting the monologue,” the station said in a statement on its website, adding “WFAA apologizes for this error.”

In fact, it’s not just OK. It’s necessary to admit you made a mistake when your mistake is killing the children in your state.” It takes bravery to right a wrong, Kimmel added in an attempt to spur conservative political leaders into action. And our representatives are supposed to represent us. “I wanted to speak to you directly without an audience for just a bit before we start the show, because here we are again on another day of mourning in this country,” Kimmel said at the beginning of Wednesday’s show. “In the meantime, here’s what you didn’t get to see.” “Firearms are now the No. 1 cause of death for American children and teens. “These are our children. On its website, the station later uploaded a video of Kimmel’s monologue in its entirety. ... It’s OK to admit you made a mistake. “The reason they call them common-sense gun laws is because that’s what they are. They won’t pass it because our cowardly leaders aren’t listening to us. “They immediately criticize our president for even speaking about doing something to stop it, because they don’t want to speak about it.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel questioned why his monologue discussing the tragic Uvalde school shooting was abruptly interrupted by a local Texas station.

"Unfortunately, the automated system that triggers commercials aired the first commercial break in error, interrupting Jimmy Kimmel's monologue," the statement read. "They're listening to the NRA, they're listening to those people who write them checks that keep them in power. The news segment was followed by several commercials, after which the station returned to Kimmel's monologue.

The broadcaster later said that "technical issues" meant the host's powerful speech was interrupted after the killings in Uvalde, Texas.
