personally, i don’t think Kimmel has anything to do with it ... the ratings are cratering because awards shows are irrelevant, the “awards” are almost exclusively based on PC, whereas actual merit has zero influence, and finally folks don’t find it entertaining to have BLM/SWJ/antifa propaganda shoved down their throats ...
People are cutting the cord, watching less network TV. There's no reason to see glued to a three hour long live event. I think mostly people are watching the clips on Twitter and YouTube and bypassing the boring stuff.
Another problem with "woke comedy" is that it's just not funny, original, or entertaining anymore. "Oh great, here comes another 'comedian' red-faced and spewing with anger, calling the president a pussy-grabber. Yawn..."
The big winner was a show billed as a comedy that is not funny and does not have many viewers as it in on Netflix. Fox11 will start showing repeats at midnight soon. Must be the title and the flamboyant gay guy in a skirt to put it on so late.
