Donald Trump is not going to like this.
The president has repeatedly claimed that Jimmy Kimmel’s “audience is gone,” but Kimmel’s show was the only late-night talk series to gain new viewers in 2025, according to new numbers from Nielsen.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! finished 2025 with a 14% increase in total viewership year over year (and a 4% increase in the coveted 18-49 demo). News of the gains comes after Kimmel’s brief suspension from ABC last September following his on-air comments criticizing MAGA’s response to the death of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk.
