While standing under the spotlight, Kimmel playfully teased the audience about nearly venturing into the world of OnlyFans following his show's hiatus. "I was this close to starting an OnlyFans," he quipped, drawing laughter from the attendees.

"We have a very special event tonight filled with amazing stories from amazing organizations that the president wants to defund," Kimmel remarked, poking fun at Donald Trump.

Never one to shy away from political humor, Kimmel took a gentle jab at former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of the evening's cause. "This work the Rare Impact Fund does is needed now more than ever," he stressed, highlighting the event's aim to raise $100 million for mental health initiatives. "It's very painful to see what's happening in this country right now, and we're not even allowed to take Tylenol for it," he added, referencing controversial claims about Tylenol's safety.

The Reason Behind the Suspension

Kimmel's show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," was put on hold from September 17 to 22 following a controversial monologue about Charlie Kirk's death. Despite the backlash, Kimmel clarified his intentions, saying, "It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man."

Emotional Return to the Screen

The audience witnessed a more vulnerable side of Kimmel upon his return to television. He expressed gratitude to the network for allowing him back on air despite the controversy. "I shared my point of view, they shared theirs. We talked it through, and at the end, they welcomed me back on the air and I thank them for that," Kimmel shared emotionally.

As the evening drew to a close, Kimmel reminded attendees of the night's charitable goal, jestingly suggesting that a donation could double as a wedding gift for Gomez and her new husband, Benny Blanco. With humor and heart, Kimmel ensured the fundraiser was an event to remember.
