Viewership for
Jimmy Kimmel Live! recently spiked to its highest ratings in over a decade after Kimmel returned from a brief suspension in late September 2025. However, this boost was temporary, and television ratings quickly fell back to his pre-suspension average by early October.
Here's a breakdown of the recent viewership trends for the show:
The ratings boom and subsequent crash
- Suspension: In September 2025, ABC temporarily took Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air after the host made controversial comments.
- Record-breaking return: The episode on September 23, 2025, marking Kimmel's return, attracted approximately 6.5 million viewers, the highest for a regular episode in the show's history. This was more than triple his normal viewership at the time.
- Rapid decline: Just over a week later, his viewership on October 1 dropped to 1.7 million, a 74% decrease from his return episode. By October 2, the total viewer count was around 1.9 million, and the show lost 85% of its key 25-54 demographic audience compared to the first night back.
The current viewership landscape
- Return to average: The drop brought the show's viewership back in line with its typical average for 2025, which was 1.6 to 1.77 million before the suspension.
- YouTube success: While TV ratings declined, Kimmel's monologues from his return went viral online. The monologue from his first episode back had over 22 million views on YouTube as of early October, with subsequent monologues also garnering millions of views.
- Continued competition: In recent television ratings, Kimmel has fallen behind Greg Gutfeld's show in total viewers and the 25-54 demographic. In the second quarter of 2025, Kimmel was second to Stephen Colbert in total TV viewership but narrowly beat him in the key 18-49 demo.
- Broader decline: It's important to note that the late-night format, in general, has seen a long-term decline in traditional broadcast viewership. Kimmel himself has said that while network numbers are down, overall viewership for late-night content is not.
I already HAVE a queer that fetches AI's for me.
Kimmel is in a time slot that beats the daytime by a mile - and those five old skanks on the view are damned near DOUBLING his ratings - in an inferior time slot.
He sucks, dumb ***. There is no **** way he can pull WORSE ratings in a BETTER time slot and not suck. Just live with it, ya **** cum guzzler. He's getting body slammed by post-menopausal liptstick whores in the 11-Noon time slot.
