Jimmy Kimmel Live! enjoyed a short-lived ratings bonanza after his triumphant post-suspension return to ABC.
Kimmel's late night show returned to screens on Tuesday with record-breaking ratings, after he was suspended for five days over remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
As many as 6.5million people tuned to Kimmel on Tuesday, which was a three times the show's usual audience and the biggest in over a decade.
But by Thursday, Kimmel averaged 2.3million - a shocking 64 percent drop since the show's return episode, Fox News reported.
Notably, Kimmel lost 73 percent of the viewers in the coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, getting just 465,000.
Typically, Kimmel gets about 1.8 million viewers each night on television. The numbers released by ABC do not include viewership from streaming services.

Great. So now, besides paid astroturf protesters, they also have paid astroturf audiences.
So he got some attention for a few days. Now he is back to being a nobody.
Yep.....back to his own echo chamber where his best buddies Jen Aniston, the childless self obsessed airhead, and Howard Stern, the vile money loving fake exist, together with him. Imagine being a part of that group.....I toss my cookie just thinking about it.
As expected....now he can be canned for low ratings....hopefully
He is hosting so many big names this week to try and pump up those numbers.
He could have the Prophet Elijah on and I wouldn’t watch it.
I got all the faith in the world in Jimmy.
I say he can easily get under that number by Halloween.
IMDB has his ratings at 2.3 out of 5.......the most despicable thing?.......this no talent pos has a net worth of 50 freakin’ million. SMH
But he has ABC right where he wants them.
No matter how bad his ratings are], ABC can't fire him. They have to wait until a Democrat president is in office, and do it quietly.
He can do whatever he wants. He could go back to doing blackface
He never was funny - according to ABC.
Still haven’t watched him🤣
Everybody loves to see a crash for 10 seconds.
Nah. Saw an ad for him doing a prime time weekly show. Premise is he brings common folks together and tasks them with coming up with an ad campaign and the losers get booted......Hey, wait a munute. That sounds vaguely familiar.....
“””Still haven’t watched him🤣”””
I didn’t even know he was on tv until this thing erupted.
Speaking of free speech,
BREAKING YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle Trump’s 2021 lawsuit over the suspension of his account
This should surprise no one. A bunch of young people tuned in for the freak show and then the audience went back to the geriatric liberal Boomers who need to get their nightly hate Trump fix.
More people see Kimmel on “Gutfeld!” than on “Kimmel”.
Now they’ll attack everyone for not watching ,LOL
