Remember the first couple of days after Kimmel’s return from his suspension that the media was gloating about his ratings jump? That of course wasn’t going to last.. And now Kimmel the Clown is averaging fewer viewers than before his suspension which is awesome!
Far-left fabulist Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings sucked before his suspension, and his ratings have now returned to suck status.
Prior to Kimmel’s short suspension last month for lying about a Trump supporter assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk (Kimmel already knew the actual accused was a leftist in a perverted sexual relationship with a furry-transsexual), throughout the second quarter of 2025, Kimmel averaged a pathetic 1.772 average total viewers.
This week, after a post-suspension bounce, Kimmel is right back to those dismal numbers. Last Wednesday, according to Nielsen’s latest numbers, Kimmel drew only 1.70 million viewers, which is actually lower than his sucky pre-suspension 1.77 million average throughout the second quarter.
For context, over at Fox News, during that second quarter, Greg Gutfeld was the top guy in all of Late Night with an average of 3.289 million total viewers (nearly doubling Kimmel). What’s more, Gutfeld! averaged those viewers on cable TV, which is available in far fewer homes that the ABC broadcast network that airs Jimmy Kimmel Live!
For even more context, during the second quarter of this year, Stephen Colbert averaged 2.417 million viewers, which is more than Kimmel. And yet, Colbert’s ratings are still so bad and his show so unprofitable, CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
