In a Twitter post today, Jimmy Kimmel said that while his exchanges with Sean Hannity have been fun, he didn't want to add further to the "vitriol" of their spat.
He called Kimmel "Harvey Weinstein Jr" and started using the hashtag #pervertkimmel in a series of tweets.
'I, too, will give my words more thought and recognize my role in inciting their hatefulness'.

Jimmy continued, "By lampooning Sean Hannity's deference to the President, I most certainly did not intend to belittle or upset members of the gay community and to those who took offense, I apologize".
The late-night host said he still thought his initial joke was an innocuous rib about the first lady. I'll have a full and comprehensive response tomorrow on Hannity. Mrs Trump nearly certainly has enough to worry about without being used as a prop to increase TV ratings, ' he said. Kimmel, in particular, found himself a target of conservative personalities ever since he delivered emotional and serious monologues during the health-care debate past year.
Kimmel thanked Hannity for the trip down memory lane but said the idea that Hannity would call anyone a pervert while he was "slobbering over" Donald Trump is, "to quote a fella you love very much, 'sad.'" Trump boasted on a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women, and he later apologized. Hire me to write you better gay jokes. Hey, Mr. Kimmel, that's her fifth language. Kimmel defended it as a comedy bit when Hannity asked if he'd be comfortable with his daughter doing that.
Both sides have been silent in their feud since then - no comment yet from Hannity on Kimmel's apology. Fox News published a piece about a petition calling for a Kimmel boycott that exceeded 50,000 signatures. Turning to his backstage sidekick from Mexico, Kimmel said, "Guillermo, do you realize what this means?" After reportedly receiving hate-filled tweets aimed at his wife and infant son, the late-night emcee issued a statement on Sunday to say that enough's enough.
