what were jimmy kimmel's ratings

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show ratings in 2025 have been declining significantly. The show averaged about 1.82 million viewers in the first quarter of 2025, dropping to 1.77 million in the second quarter, and further falling to approximately 1.1 million viewers in August 2025—a 43% decrease from 1.95 million viewers in January. The household rating dropped to 0.35 in August, the lowest of the year. The key demographic of viewers aged 18 to 49 also saw a sharp decline, from 212,000 in January to only 129,000 in August. Overall, these ratings place Kimmel behind late-night rivals like Stephen Colbert and Greg Gutfeld. This decline contributed to ABC's decision to suspend the show indefinitely in September 2025 following controversial comments by Kimmel.
