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...
