Jimmy Kimmel opened up about the day he learned of his show’s suspension from ABC — and the sacrifice his daughter Jane, 11, was prepared to make.

A few hours after getting the phone call telling him his show would be taken off the air, the host and wife Molly McNearney — who is also the co-head writer and executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! — drove home while being tailed by photographers,  he explained on the Tuesday, September 30 episode of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

“We get to the house and we’re shaken,” Kimmel, 57, told host Stephen Colbert, 61, adding that his two youngest children, Jane and Billy, 8, were “up.”

“Our daughter … says ‘I can sell my Labubus,’” the comedian revealed of the collectible plush dolls, some of which have sold for thousands of dollars.

“It was very sweet,” he added. “Our son just got naked and started running around the house.”

As Star previously reported, Kimmel’s show was suspended on Wednesday, September 17, after he made comments about Charlie Kirk’s murderer during his monologue.

“And then it was like three days in jail, where I couldn’t say anything,” he told Colbert. “I just had to sit quiet and make a lot of phone calls and take a lot of phone calls.”

When he returned to the air on Tuesday, September 23, Kimmel joked that his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez had “offered to sell his Labubus” as well.
