After about a week-long suspension, late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel returned and brought his show its highest ratings in a decade!
Confirmed by Disney, some 6.26 million people tuned in to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday – about triple its average ratings – despite about a quarter of ABC stations in the US not airing it.
A further 26 million watched Kimmel’s emotional 28-minute monologue on social media.
Kimmel was pulled off air last week due to comments he made about the man accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
