Jimmy Kimmel's Ratings Collapse, Only Took 'Comedian' 5 Shows to End Up Back in the Basement
The Western Journal ^ | 10/6/2025 | Bryan Chai

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Love him or hate him, that adage did bear true when ABC semi-funnyman Jimmy Kimmel was yanked off airwaves for lying about the Charlie Kirk assassin in mid-September.

Kimmel came back from his five-day suspension to an undeniably massive audience: 6.48 million viewers, according to Mediaite.

But if absence makes the heart grow fonder, does presence make the heart grow weary?

Love him or hate him, that appears to be true about Kimmel, as well.

Despite that monstrous viewership for his return, few of them appeared to have stuck around, if one looks at the Nielsen ratings data analyzed by Mediaite.

After 6.48 million viewers for his return show on Sept. 23, Kimmel has struggled to maintain any sort of momentum.

5 too many. People watched the 1st one looking for a sincere apology. And/or to see what kind of an ahole he really is. They were assured that he’s an A1 ahole so back to Foodnetwork they went.

The more viewers he gets the more people will hate him.

Semi-funnyman? That’s a huge stretch.

He’s not funny. He had no audience. He is merely paid propaganda. Every year he loses over ten million dollars. So someone is paying ten million dollars to get his propaganda on TV in front of about 100,000 old people in nursing homes. Its not the advertisers. It’s Disney. Disney is a wing of the democrat party.

Sounds like it is time to say something outrageous, insensitive and offensive again

...only so long as it doesn’t piss of the work leftists.

Because as poinq points out, it’s not really about ratings. Granted, I am sure they’d rather have more viewers, but all that really matters is being on the good graces of the liberal elites
