Stephen Colbert showed support for fellow late night host Jimmy Kimmel following his suspension last week, and he's shown just as much support on Kimmel's return to TV.

The host was back on the air on Tuesday night, giving a 28-minute monologue that quickly went viral on YouTube, in which he addressed his suspension, his comments on Charlie Kirk's shooter, and the issue of free speech. Millions of people tuned in, and Stephen Colbert was one of them.

"You're in a good mood, I'm in a good mood, because last night our friend Jimmy Kimmel returned to television," says Colbert in the clip above, at the start of his monologue. "Just so proud of him. So proud to know that man. Jimmy spoke beautifully about free speech and unity, he made great jokes, showed his deep emotions, got huge ratings. It did so well that Disney just announced that next summer they're releasing Guillermo & Stitch. Live action!"

Colbert went on to talk about the tens of millions of YouTube views Kimmel's return monologue received. "Congrats Jimmy! That's pretty rare. That puts you just five billion views behind El Chombo's song with the dancing alien that sings in Spanish."

If your ABC station isn't showing Kimmel, here's how to watch his show.
