Former Fox News and NBC host-turned-podcaster Megyn Kelly brought up Jimmy Kimmel's past use of blackface after the comedian's show returned to ABC this week.

The famous commentator noted that Kimmel, the former co-host of "The Man Show," which was notorious for objectifying women, didn't defend her after NBC canceled her over questions she asked about children wearing blackface to impersonate their favorite person or character on Halloween. 

"Remember when I was cancelled & held back tears on the air & Kimmel stood up for me saying "All she did was ask a Q about blackface Halloween costumes, whereas I, Jimmy, have actually worn blackface many times & still have a show! This is wrong!" Kelly declared in a Wednesday X post.

Kimmel himself has donned blackface in past televised skits, including on Comedy Central's "The Man Show," where he impersonated basketball player Karl Malone.
