Kimmel's back!

[schmidlap]

The most popular late night talk show is conservative and on Fox

As the second quarter of 2025 wrapped, late-night’s pecking order held mostly steady—with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert topping the 11:35 PM hour in total viewers, and Late Night with Seth Meyers leading at 12:37 AM across both key ratings metrics.
CBS’s Late Show was the only show among the nine tracked by LateNighter to draw more total viewers in Q2 than it had in the first quarter of 2025—although just barely, with the show growing its audience by 1% quarter over quarter. All told, the Stephen Colbert-hosted show averaged 2.42 million viewers across 41 first-run episodes, comfortably outpacing ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (1.77 million) and NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (1.19 million). In the advertiser-coveted 18–49 demo, however, Kimmel surged ahead with 220,000 viewers—his strongest performance in a year—edging out Colbert (219,000) and leaving Fallon (at 157,000) in a distant third.

Q2 2025 late-night ratings showed stability at the top—but year-over-year declines for most, with Gutfeld! on Fox Nwes the lone gainer.

Something like 62,000 new TPA groups and growing.

Be interesting to see if Kimmel will hold a ratings spike after eating Crow, live.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

LoL.... thought you were talking about Kimmel.

Hillary called Donna Brazille buffalo face.

No verified record shows Hillary Clinton ever calling Donna Brazile “buffalo face.”

 

[g5000]

Damage? To what? The only loons that whined about Kimmel being held accountable for his hatred already hated Trump.

Interesting choice of words, comrade. "Accountable".

As for the rest, I guess you have not seen several members of the MAGA cult have spoken out in favor of free speech and against Kimmel's firing.

This whole thing harmed liberals more. It further exposed their hateful nature and inability to act civil.

Jimmy Kimmel's show is returning to ABC on Tuesday, but not all stations will air it

The network pulled the show after the Federal Communications Commission chair threatened regulatory action after the host's comments about Charlie Kirk's death.

Money overrules political expediency! ABC found that out the hard way!

I love it

Free speech was never threatened. Only the ignorant bought into that silliness. Oh, sorry...

Why didn’t you quote the paragraph that said Gutfield lead with total viewers of all the shows tracked?

 

[g5000]

In America one is free to lie but not free of the consequences from other Americans.

In America, Donald Trump is free to lie every time he opens his mouth and he never suffers any consequences. He never experiences any splashback from the cult.

You can't even fail to see how profoundly outrageous it is that you tolerate the world's most prolific liar on the planet and go along with his demands Kimmel be fired for lying.

I am frankly stunned an irony vortex didn't open up and swallow the Earth.

 

[g5000]

Trump is a hell of a lot funnier than Kimmel

This is true, actually. I agree.

The game show host should have stayed on television, and become a standup comic. Here are some of his best comedy bits:

"Smart people don't like me." - Donald Trump, experiencing a moment of clarity.


"Biden is not the sharpest bulb." - Donald Trump, the brightest knife in the drawer.



“We’re gonna get the drug prices down — not 30 or 40 percent, which would be great. Not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get them down 1,000 percent, 600 percent, 500 percent, 1,500 percent. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.” - Donald Trump, math wizard


Speaking to Modi: "It's not like you've got China on your border." - Donald Trump, ace diplomat

On Puerto Rico: "This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water." - Donald Trump, geography teacher




“And you go, ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ They say, ‘That’s amazing. How did you do that?’" - Donald Trump, amazing 5-word memorizer.

Trump actually believes this was an IQ test and that he aced it! I kid you not.




"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs." - Donald Trump, epidemiologist


“When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.” - Donald Trump, very stable genius


‘I don’t kid’: Trump says he wasn’t joking about slowing coronavirus testing

President Donald Trump on Tuesday insisted he was serious when he revealed that he had directed his administration to slow coronavirus testing in the United States, shattering the defenses of senior White House aides who argued Trump’s remarks were made in jest.

“I don’t kid. Let me just tell you. Let me make it clear,” Trump told reporters, when pressed on whether his comments at a campaign event Saturday in Tulsa, Okla., were intended as a joke.



"In 1917 they say, right? The great the great pandemic certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from fifty to a hundred million people. Probably ended the Second World War. All the soldiers were sick." - Donald Trump, lost in time.


"Think of it, magnets. Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets." - Donald Trump, physicist


So I said, “Let me ask you a question.” And he said, “Nobody ever asked this question, and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT,” very smart. I say, “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery’s underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?” By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that? A lot of shark… I watched some guys justifying it today. “Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was.” These people are crazy. He said, “There’s no problem with sharks. They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now who really got decimated and other people too,” a lot of shark attacks. So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, and water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you he didn’t know the answer. He said, “Nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, “I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.” But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. - Donald Trump, galeophobic



"So many mistakes were made. See, there was something I think could have been negotiated, to be honest with you. I think you could’ve negotiated that. All the people died, so many people died." - Donald Trump, Civil War historian


The Battle of Gettysburg. What an unbelievable — it was so much and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways. It represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow. - Donald Trump, Gettysburg Wow


“In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York, named after the great George Washington, commander in chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis at Yorktown. Our army manned the air, it ranned the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory." - Donald Trump, American Revolution historian


"We have a lot of lumber. We freed it up, as you know, last week. We're freeing it up so that you can actually cut down a tree without being given the death penalty." - Donald Trump, forestry expert.


"An old fashioned term that we use, 'groceries.' I used it on the campaign. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it." - Donald Trump, Groceries: a bag with different things in it

“I haven’t used the word ‘groceries.’ It’s like an old-fashioned word, but really it’s not. And people understand it.” - Donald Trump, patron of simple people


"Very simple word, groceries. Like almost — you know, who uses the word? I started using the word — the groceries.” - Donald Trump, bringing back the word "the groceries"

 

[Delldude]

No verified record shows Hillary Clinton ever calling Donna Brazile “buffalo face.”

NBC tech crew revealed her inherent racism.

Same night Matt Lauer was shit canned for asking a question that wasn't on the softball game card.

In fact the Lauer thing set it off.

Interim DNC chairman Donna Brazile, the first black woman to hold the position, was singled out by Hillary during the rant. She screamed at Donna:

“I’m so sick of your face. You stare at the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting that f – – – ing Lauer get away with this. What are you good for, really? Get the f – – – to work janitoring this mess – do I make myself clear?”

A female NBC executive said that Donna Brazile looked at Mrs. Clinton and never flinched, which seemed to enrage Hillary all the more. The executive continued:“It was the most awful and terrible…and racist display – such a profane meltdown I have ever witnessed from anyone, and I will never forget it.

You going to now tell me leaked emails only count for Trump?

Why didn’t you quote the paragraph that said Gutfield lead with total viewers of all the shows tracked?

As noted,I was citing the viewership of late night television.

 

[ThisIsMe]

There is a market for conservative versions of these programs. And the networks know there is. That is the real issue.

Nah, hollywood wont platform a republican on late night TV. That why there are none now.

I love it

/----/ Now, love this:
Kimmel’s ratings decreased since 2015, according to multiple outlets and Nielsen data. Ten years ago, Kimmel had an average of 2.4 million viewers. Since 2015, that viewership has gradually declined through 2025.

In 2015, Kimmel had 2.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. The following is a list of Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘s ratings year after year from 2015 to 2021, according to Nielsen data, Forbes and Fox News:

• 2015 — 2.4 million
• 2016 — 2.2 million
• 2017 — 2.2 million
• 2018 — 2.1 million
• 2019 — 1.9 million
• 2020 — 1.8 million
• 2021 — 1.5 million
• It’s too early to determine the total viewership for Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2025.

Hmmm...

No, I am simply agreeing that Trump is funnier than Kimmel! It's true!

He should end all his weird ramblings with, "Thank you, I'll be here all week."

[yidnar]

Interesting choice of words, comrade. "Accountable".

As for the rest, I guess you have not seen several members of the MAGA cult have spoken out in favor of free speech and against Kimmel's firing.

did you lose your job for not mourning him like people who didn't adhere to the lefts COVID mandates during the last admin ?

COVID vaccine refusal 10th highest reason for job cuts in 2021, report says

Experts believe the number of people losing their jobs over vaccine refusal will grow following the new federal deadline for two-thirds of the country's workforce.
