Jimmy Kimmel Sheds 70% Of Audience After return?



 OK So while the first episode back on air the entire planet who was following this knew the ratings would be the biggest Kimmel had in a long time given all the hype, talk and controversy. All crafted and manufactured by Jimmy to bring some life to his abysmal ratings. He used the death of Charlie Kirk to do this and once again turning another persons tragedy and trying to make it all about himself.

Jimmy who is a father himself should be ashamed of his TV behavior, and his constant lying, mocking and creating this sort of horrible noise, and with Disney and Bob Iger deciding to cave in to the Hollyweirdos who wrote him demanding Kimmel returns or else!

This included most the Marvel liberal TDS morons they think we gives a crap about. 

We don't...  But let's be real most these people are so Rich and are completely sold off to their evil "Slave Owners" as "George Lucas" once called.

Mark Ruffalo, Pedro Pascal, and all these Rainbow bright morons think we care like there couldn't be another whoever playing "The Hulk" or "Din Djarin" and AFTER Fantastic Four I never want to see Pedro Pascal again. He's a horrible actor, and 1 trick pony. The Mandalorian and it wasn't him that made that show good.

The story in season 1 was good, even season 2 was good. He was not in the suit as that's a stunt actor all Pedro does is voice over mostly and takes credit as the lead on the show. But he is now so vile, and toxic we will not be spending anymore money on anything he's in, and frankly Disney is in the dog house (or mouse house) with us, and until MAJOR changes happen well consider us not interested in spending another buck in the house Walt built.

But back to this Kimmel thing. The controversy surrounding the brief preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live by Sinclair Broadcast Group’s who is an ABC affiliates has taken a dramatic turn in the ratings war, as audience numbers for the late-night show plummeted just one day after its high-profile return. 

And so following its return to air on Tuesday, September 24th, after being pulled by Sinclair over remarks Kimmel made concerning the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the initial broadcast the liberal media said was a "a massive, record audience" ... Well for his show, and it's not exactly a record overall just for his show which had been having Ratings problems for years as well nobody cares about Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, or any of these clowns anymore. 

And until he opened his mouth and stained his reputation for life like a giant Orange moron Conan O'brien who we all liked can now also go kindly have relations with himself. Now they drew big on that initial return however, on Wednesday, September 25th, the audience for Jimmy Kimmel Live! shed a staggering 62% in total viewers and 70% in the key age 25-54 demographic. Folks this was expected, and it will become WORSE for Kimmel. 

Expect the same to happen to south Park as they will also lose major Ratings if they continue this crap up. The new shows they're doing is just not funny. But here is what's happened FOX News Channel’s late-night program, Gutfeld!, continued its dominance, reigning as the most-watched program in all of late-night. The show, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, drew an audience of 3,233,000 on Wednesday, outpacing the competition:

1. Gutfeld! (
FNC): 3,233,000
2. Jimmy Kimmel Live! (
ABC): 2,414,000
3. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (
CBS): 1,988,000
4. The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (
NBC): 1,244,000

Shows on YouTube get better numbers let's be honest... And unlike Gutfeld he's on a FOX News CH which unless you knew how this works Only the shows after "Gutfeld" on that top 4 the rest are on normal TV not like Gutfeld who's overall audience is smaller as it's FoxNews but yet he destroys the other 3.

Not even close, and the once mighty "Tonight Show" at 4? Time thse late night shows all went the way of "Felicia" ... 

"The Tonight Show" is the only one I'd keep but with a new host as Fallon is just not good, and has destroyed the legacy of that show. The Tuesday return of Jimmy Kimmel Live followed a contentious week. 

Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, had initially indefinitely preempted the program, citing Mr. Kimmel’s remarks as “inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country.” Well we all did, and approved the move nation wide. 

Well again except those who are Marvel/Disney activists actors, and liberals in the media and so called "Entertainment" world but Sinclair added “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith in an earlier statement, while also calling for Kimmel to issue an apology and make a donation to the Kirk family. 

One he never did and still Sinclair then reversed its decision, saying on Friday that it would immediately return the show to its ABC stations. “Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience,” the company said. These are things Jimmy Kimmel has never been. "Engaging" his show is an abomination to TV, and a toxic waste dump and now the ratings will continue to prove it.

So what have we learned if anything else? That most people didn't like Jimmy's big return and so by the very next night, viewership had plummeted to about 2.4 million, according to Nielsen ratings cited by OutKick. That represents a 60–70% overnight collapse. In plain terms, most of the audience that tuned in to see what the fuss was about immediately vanished, leaving Kimmel right back in the rut he was in before suspension. 

It’s also important to remember that Kimmel’s return wasn’t a full comeback to every home. Two of the nation’s largest affiliate groups, Sinclair and Nexstar, initially refused to air the program on their ABC stations. Together, those companies represent nearly a quarter of American households. Their stance was clear: they didn’t want to broadcast a host who had alienated their viewers with hyper-partisan commentary, particularly after his remarks in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death. But hey if it did those numbers without them why did they drop like they did from 1 episode to the next? think about it.

Even without the suspension and affiliate drama, Kimmel’s show has been in deep decline. From January through August of 2025, Jimmy Kimmel Live! lost nearly half of its audience, averaging just 1.7 million viewers. That is a steep drop for a program that once competed toe-to-toe with the likes of Jay Leno and David Letterman. 

The so called comeback episode didn’t reverse that trend it merely delayed it for a single night again as the Wednesday’s viewership figure, though marginally higher than his 2025 average, was far below the level needed to justify ABC’s hype campaign. Analysts at OutKick even suggested that the show could tumble back under two million viewers within days.

Disney, which owns ABC, is trying to frame Kimmel’s return as a major cultural moment. The company has pointed to viral clips of his monologue circulating on YouTube and TikTok, racking up tens of millions of views. But viral clips don’t equal sustained ratings, and they certainly don’t appease advertisers looking for consistent live audiences in the coveted late-night slot. 

If anything, Disney’s reliance on social media metrics highlights just how fragile the situation really is. A one-off bump in online shares doesn’t pay the bills in linear television, especially when affiliate groups were balking at even carrying the show.

CNN is attempting a classic media sleight of hand: proclaiming that Kimmel’s comeback is a sweeping victory by pointing to YouTube views, while utterly ignoring the 70% collapse in his TV ratings the platform that actually matters for ad dollars, affiliate fees, and network viability for a network talk show. In its reporting, CNN highlights that Kimmel’s monologue “soared” on YouTube invoking viral reach and social impressions. But let’s be absolutely clear:

YouTube views don’t pay ABC or its affiliates in any meaningful way as live TV ratings do. What matters to advertisers and network bottom lines is live linear viewership, especially within the 11:35 p.m. late-night time slot, not recorded or online spillover.

When you strip away the hype, the actual data show a cliff from roughly 6.3 million viewers on Night 1 to 2.4 million on Night 2 (a 60–70% drop). That collapse is real, measurable, and devastating yet CNN ignores it in favor of clickbait language about “skyrocketing digital engagement.” It’s not just misleading it’s disingenuous. 

CNN and others are conflating two entirely different metrics (digital buzz vs. live TV audience) as if they’re interchangeable, when they plainly aren’t. The fact that a clip goes viral does not mean the show’s ratings are “soaring” in any sustainable or profitable sense.

In effect, CNN is handing Kimmel a PR lifeline built on smoke and mirrors: distract readers with YouTube numbers, bury the TV ratings meltdown, and let viewers misinterpret what “soaring” really means. But the truth remains: Kimmel’s show is bleeding on the platform that matters most and no amount of social media traffic can paper over that reality. The broader issue for Kimmel is that he no longer speaks to a wide swath of the American public. 

His brand of comedy, once built on lighthearted satire, has become synonymous with late-night partisanship. That may appeal to a slice of the audience, but it alienates many more. The ratings collapse after just one night back proves the point. Millions tuned in out of curiosity, but very few stayed. That’s not a recipe for success. It’s a reminder that Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night relevance is running on fumes.

If Disney and ABC hoped Kimmel’s suspension would create anticipation that translated into long-term growth, they were mistaken. The 6.3 million viewers on night one were a fluke, not a foundation. The rapid fall to 2.4 million showed that the Kimmel ratings problem isn’t going away. 

In the end, this week’s drama doesn’t read like a comeback at all. It reads like confirmation of what’s been happening for years: late-night comedy is in decline, and Jimmy Kimmel is leading the way down and we couldn't be more thrilled over it. These liberal hosts are all engaged in misinformation, actual hate speech and they all know it... Remember Kimmel is a racist who wore blackface.

This is an actual fact he wore blackface, and well this has never gone over well in the black community, and got him in deep trouble once before but when he decided to become a late night whore for TDS the liberal left who would condemn anyone in the right if they did this to the point these people would be pulled from shows. Like remember Rosanne Barr and what happened over a tweet? Jimmy did much worse and he did not face the wrath of ABC or Bob Iger like she did.

But we are sure this drama isn't done as Kimmel is a drama queen diva and so this I'm sure will become his only course of action to try and get Ratings back which won't happen as we all know his true colors, and he can't cope with reality so he will continue to make it worse for himself and those around him. He's going to be the cause of his own downfall.

CBS to settle Trump 10 Billion Suit?


CBS owner considers settling Trump suit over Kamala Harris’ ‘60 Minutes’ interview where the network clipped out her word salad answer, and edited it to make her look good which yes folks this is CLEAR election interference. The owners or Global Executives and parent company "Paramount" have held internal talks about settling the lawsuit filed by President-elect Donald Trump.

Paramount, is hoping to close its planned merger with Skydance Media in the coming months but has been sued by Trump for allegedly favorably editing the “60 Minutes” sit-down with Harris just before the election. Now post election with Trump coming out the winner and soon as in the next 24 hours will reclaim his place as the President of the country it's become clear that Trump’s dissatisfaction with CBS News is proving to be a major hurdle he plans on seeing all the way through. Some say he will likely need to pony up concessions to win approval, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

The Post had previously reported that the deal will likely remain in regulatory purgatory for the foreseeable future under Trump-nominated FCC chair Brendan Carr, unless it satisfies certain “fairness” conditions that will be demanded by Trump’s FCC. The FCC has authority over the deal because it would involve the transfer of broadcast TV licenses held by local CBS-owned stations. The Journal said there was no indication that Paramount had approached Trump’s team about a settlement, but executives at the company were gaming out options to reduce friction with the incoming administration in order to facilitate the merger. A rep for Trump did not immediately comment on whether Paramount had contacted the President-elect’s team.

One source told The Post that the talks have been described as “informal,” meaning there have been no presentations or formal plans devised. Reps for Paramount and Skydance did not comment. At issue is Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS, which alleges that the network committed election interference by editing portions of the “60 Minutes” interview with Harris to eliminate a “word salad” answer about the Israel-Hamas war.

Trump claimed CBS aired one version of the interview on “60 Minutes” and another version on its show “Face the Nation,” each containing different answers, and demanded the network release the transcript of the taped interview. CBS has said it aired a more succinct version of Harris’s interview on “60 Minutes” for clarity. It has refused to release a full transcript of the interview. Reports of settlement talks follow a capitulation by rival ABC News in a defamation suit brought by Trump.

He sued the Disney-owned network and star anchor George Stephanopoulos over comments the “This Week” host made on air stating that Trump had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. A federal jury determined Trump was liable for sexual abuse. Last month, Disney settled the defamation lawsuit, agreeing to contribute $15 million to Trump’s presidential foundation or museum and to pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump’s lawyer. Recently, Carr wrote a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger, ripping national news media, saying: “Americans no longer trust the national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly.”

His thinking extends to CBS’ coverage, as well. As a result, Paramount and Skydance execs have considered a number of possible changes, such as bringing in more oversight over CBS News editorial operations, adding new processes around programming and possibly releasing the transcript of its “60 Minutes” interview with Harris, The Journal reported. This week, CBS News announced that it appointed veteran CBS News producer Susan Zirinsky as executive editor to oversee the network’s editorial process and journalistic standards on an interim basis amid allegations of bias. The network is currently looking for a permanent hire and has reached out to several cable news execs for the role, a source said.

The move follows a handful of missteps by the network, including its most recent flap over a Jan. 12 segment on “60 Minutes” about the Biden administration’s handling of the war in Gaza. The segment triggered concerns over bias at the news division. Jewish organizations and the Anti-Defamation League ripped the episode for being slanted against Israel. Executives internally raised questions about why more context wasn’t added to the piece to make it more balanced, The Journal reported.

Meanwhile, Skydance, which is run by David Ellison the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, a Trump booster is itching to close the $8 billion Paramount deal, which has painstakingly taken months to hammer out with controlling shareholder Shari Redstone, who also has a good relationship with Trump.

Under the terms of the deal, Skydance and its investors agreed buy out Redstone’s Paramount stake and merge it with Skydance, which as produced films for the studio that include the latest “Mission: Impossible” sequels and “Top Gun: Maverick.” A person close to Skydance said David Ellison would support measures to promote unbiased journalism, The Journal said.

BREAKING! BOB IGER REPORTED WANTS TO SELL DISNEY TO APPLE?

The word bubbling up again which has been a rumor before is that Disney is looking to either SELL most of it's company's assets or perhaps the entire shebang! Now Apple once again is said to be interested. As we know Disney has been well not doing well financially. So when Robert Alan Chapek walked and BOB IGER returned as CEO of Disney a lot of fans were very happy. But then the movies that came out didn't hit very well the whole Florida vs Disney or better yet Ron DeSantis vs Disney happened, and well the company went so WOKE it might be broke as nothing they have put out has been underwhelming both with fans and at the box office.



The biggest companies affected in the possible sell I feel would be the Marvel Universe Comics, Movies and TV + Streaming. And the Lucasfilms films in Star Wars, Indiana Jones (Which has just released a bomb in 2023) and well now that the Disney Star Wars parks are coming down the whole thing left is Willow... Oh wait. They already ruined that also. Nothing much left to put out in Lucasfilms.



With Disney also buying FOX Studios it owns ALL rights to Marvel Films, and Lucasfilms. Now would I think they should do is sell Marvel to SONY and let Sony continue putting in place the MCU under Kevin Feige continuing his work. Sony has something good with the Spiderman / Venom films and should be a big player in buying the entire Marvel studios which would include the Films, TV and Streaming rights.



Than sell Lucasfilms back to George Lucas and let him continue his movies like he wants... The first thing I would do if I was Lucas is refuse to bring in the "sequel trilogy" and "solo" in continuity. Than totally reboot Indiana Jones! OR bring it for 1 last ride with Ford ASAP with someone like Chris Pratt playing another son NOT Mutt that Indiana Had with another woman who finds his dad as he needs him for one final ride, and really gives us something like the movie Indiana Jones and the last crusade and pass the baton to the new Indiana Jones. "Indiana Jones Jr" going forward with Pratt in the lead would be big! And I would let Lucasfilms come up with new material which has nothing to do with Star Wars for a while and give Pratt his own solo trilogy.



Sell off to Comcast the rest of Hulu and let Disney+ be the only streaming they have along with Fox being used for the entire film category in another Streaming platform or rent out the movie rights, and tv rights and let Netflix or others get shows and movies to stream in their platforms and pay Disney for their use thus bringing in a major payoff to Disney. Keep Disney+ for their legacy things not "Marvel/Lucasfilms" related.



See if ANYONE wants ABC? Good info in these videos below... Check these out for more info on the subject. Are we looking at the final days of the Disney company as we knew it? Looks like it. But we know one things folks this is the internet and it's only rumors, and nerd talk until these sales become reality. But hey! Where there is smoke there could be fire! So who knows.

The Writer strike continues! Check out this video by Sean Gunn!





So The Wrtier Strike in Hollyweird continues to rage on as overpaid Writers, and over paid Directors who consistantly create garbage movies these days are marching for more MONEY and now actor, and brother of James Gunn who can be seen in James Marvel trilogy "Guardians of the Galaxy" is speaking out against Bob Iger the CEO of Diseny pretty much closing the door in his ever being cast in another Disney movie. lol



But check out his Tweet below and like normal I got in on the fun so I also commented and well had to have some fun with these people... While real Americans go hungry, our borders are being invaded, we got cocaine in The White House where the worst President in the history of this country is sitting destroying our country we have to have these rich wannabe so called important people complain about not making enough money... It's incredible... The Rich can't ever have enough while us poor folk strugle to get by with things like patreon.com/angelespino just to survive.







Sean Gunn says “in 1980, CEOs made 30x what the lowest worker was making, now Bob Iger makes 400x what his lowest worker is making.” I agree there but Sean how about Directors, writers, and actors start doing better also? We the fans want better quality. Nobody is happy with what James Gunn is doing with Henry Cavill, and the Snyder fans have every right to be mad. But hey with FLASH bombing while James Gunnn said it was one of the best Superhero movies he'd ever seen this shows us what part of the problem is. But let's continue. “I think that’s a fucking shame Bob, and maybe you should look in the mirror & ask why is that? Is it morally okay?”












Not morally OK Sean but neither is this over sized amount of WOKE crap and hidden agendas these writers, and directors keep throwing into their scripts, and films these days... Oh and why is James Gunns name floating around on the list of people who went to the now infamous James Epstein island?
