(It's the time slot where people are just up and want to watch something - anything - except, apparently, Jimmy Kimmel's ugly mug.)
MARK SIMONE @MarkSimoneNY After pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air, ABC has been running reruns of Celebrity Family Feud in his time slot and it's getting much bigger ratings. So why bring Kimmel back?
Overnight ratings for the September 18, 2025, *Celebrity Family Feud* rerun show 2.8 viewers —easily topping Kimmel's recent averages of about 1.1 million viewers.
This marks a roughly 150% lift in total viewership and a 200% jump in the key demo, so why pay a fortune for Jimmy Kimmel to bomb, when a free rerun does much better?
People are sick and tired of the constant Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display. That folks would rather watch reruns of Family Feud than the other slop on offer ought to send some sort of message.
Unexpected.
Stiff competition in negotiations with those kind of numbets. Maybe rosie odonnel reruns or phil donohue could do even better!
I love family feud and Steve Harvey is actually quite funny they should keep on showing it
I support free speech but not Jimmy Kimmel. If you heard his “comedy” you wouldn’t either. The best antidote for curing a problem like Jimmy Kimmel is to tap your heels 3 times and say “Alexa, stifle Jimmy” Apparently, Disney got a clue when they looked at the havoc to their bottom line this guy was creating and went to clicking their heels
Roseanne reruns would be nice
I miss FF with Riiich-ard Dawson.

Steve Harvey is having ENTIRELY too much fun.
Hope he keeps it up.
These great questions and answers are from the days when the “Hollywood Squares” game show responses were spontaneous and clever.
Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course.
Q. If you’re going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?
A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.
Agreed. Also liked Ray Combs.
They should try reruns of the “Man Show.” Those reruns would ensure that Kimmel would never be on television again.
And zero production costs since they are reruns.
That show is on Cozi TV I think.
2.8 million is actually approaching triple if his ratings were only 1.1 million
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
