Everyone didn’t take this comeback on a good note. Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABC after suspension, but former IndyCar star Danica Patrick says the host’s days might be numbered unless he changes his act.

Patrick, who openly supports Donald Trump, came out clearly when ABC reinstated Kimmel after suspending him for remarks about the late Charlie Kirk.

The comedian had joked that “the MAGA gang” tried to portray Kirk’s suspected kller “as anything other than one of them.” Disney, which owns ABC, called the comments “ill-timed and thus insensitive.”

That decision drew fire across the political spectrum, with reactions ranging from outrage to relief.

As Patrick pointed out, “Clock is ticking again.” Her words echoed the frustration she had shown before when Kimmel’s show was stopped.

Patrick reacted on Instagram after ABC announced Kimmel’s return.

“Totally fine, an employer has a choice to hire and fire and run a business.” she wrote. Still, she added a warning.

“I don’t think he is as funny as he used to be, but that little problem will take care of itself in time. He will either start making real jokes and not stupid distasteful emotional jabs or he won’t.”

Her frustration grew from Kimmel’s segment last week, where he mocked Trump’s grieving process after Kirk’s assassination in Utah. Prosecutors have since charged suspect Tyler Robinson with capital murd3r. Kimmel’s critics, including Patrick, argue the late-night host went too far.

The 43-year-old has only recently gotten into politics. She admitted she had never voted before backing Trump in last year’s election.

She first endorsed Robert F. Kennedy before he stepped aside to join Trump’s campaign. Now she has positioned herself as a blunt critic of political humor, calling out performers who, in her view, ignore the line between entertainment and activism.

Kimmel, meanwhile, remains one of ABC’s most visible stars. He has used his platform for years to jab at Trump and his supporters. But his suspension shows the network is willing to draw boundaries, and this issue isn’t ending anytime soon.

Even ESPN veteran loudmouth Stephen A. Smith shared his feelings earlier about Kimmel’s show being canceled, showing how far the conversation has spread beyond late-night TV.

For Patrick, the bottom line stays simple; in her eyes, money drives decisions. If the ratings slip or the laughs fade, she believes ABC won’t hesitate.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 sh00ting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 sh00ting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
