Apparently his “triumphant return” produced huge ratings. Curiosity I would guess to see him apologize. The ratings were only out of curiosity. Like going to a freak show just once.
But that 30 percent watch with passion
Its going to fall even more.
Why any late-night show audience would want to see a grown man cry like that in the first place I have no idea.
Thought exercise:
When Xiden moves on from his mortal life will people from around the country fill up a large stadium in a memorial along with tens of millions viewers around the world?
Will tens of thousands of individual people request to build little shrines of this anti-freedom fraudulent president like TPUSA chapters?
Will Xiden’s followers tune in every day to see his shows and listen to his podcasts for a better America?
Did Xiden get taxpayer funded paychecks every week for five decades while destroying the country?
The list is much longer.
dead cat bounce.
I love good news in the morning! The bottom line is viewership and $$$.
Like an aging cam-girl, Kimmel’s ratings were collapsing long before he death slimed Charlie Kirk.
He is especially weak among the key 30-50 year old top spender cohort that ad buyers pay top dollar for......about 230k now, or a mere 15%.
Kimmel’s fan base is aging out and not being replaced.
I know in my little heart know the whole Kirk-Kimmel “ass showing” was a plan to get fired and be hired again. He was to become the Incel, single white girl “Antifa anti-hero” late night host of choice for Sodomite Dems and grab some yunguns, while pumping his flaccid show rating in total.
The numbers?
2015: 2.5 million (average for the year)
2016: 2.3 million (slight decline due to competition and political shifts)
2017: 2.4 million (rebound with political monologues)
2018: 2.2 million (fluctuations)
2019: 2.1 million (continued decline)
2020: 2.0 million (impact of COVID-19 and remote production)
2021: 1.8 million (competition from streaming)
2022: 1.7 million (steady but low)
2023: 1.6 million (continued downward trend)
2024: 1.5 million (pre-suspension average)
2025....6.6 million curiosity watcher comeback
Now.....back in the pooper.
His show was losing them $25mm a year and was marked for cancellation.
Kimmel gets $15mm a year.
So, he would rape Kirk’s widow on pay per view for that much at stake.
But what I do know and I do not feel strongly about
It was enough that the two corporations holding out and not airing him caved and added him back to the schedule.
If there is a train wreck, you will get a lot of gawkers at the scene for a day or two.
But it doesn’t take long to figure out there’s nothing to see.
What is always lost in any conversation about late night ratings, is how Jimmy Fallon has totally destroyed the Tonight Show brand. His ratings are really in the gutter and if you think about where they were with Johnny Carson and then Jay Leno, it’s a wonder that the Tonight Show is still on the air.
He sucked before, he sucks now.
Have long “wondered” how these networks kept shows like his and others that were bleeding money, shitty rating’s afloat and my mind keeps going back to USAID and the money laundering/funding machine it was
Jimmy FAFO’d
Good bye Jimmy.
Only 70%?
“I’m shocked”, said no sane person.

People tuned in for the same reason people follow firetrucks!
Are they "jokes?"
Left wing "comedians" say things and and the audience then makes a noise, but I am not sure it's laughter. I would say it serves the purpose of a satanic Amen. Sometimes it sounds like a grunt.
