Jimmy Kimmel Breaks His YouTube Record After ABC Suspension

Jimmy Kimmel Breaks His YouTube Record After ABC Suspension
SHARE

In a television landscape that thrives on attention, Jimmy Kimmel has once again stolen the spotlight—quite literally—following a brief hiatus from late-night television.

After a six-day suspension imposed by ABC, Kimmel returned on Tuesday, September 23, with an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that began with a monologue that captured the attention of millions. His comeback was marked by a striking engagement, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, with the segment quickly setting records as the most-watched Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue ever on YouTube.

While Kimmel’s various sketches and interviews have accrued significant viewership over the years, this particular 28-minute monologue achieved an impressive feat of over 14 million views within just 15 hours.

According to ABC Entertainment, a substantial audience of 6.26 million tuned into the broadcast, a remarkable number given that about 23 percent of U.S. households experienced preemptions. Overall, Kimmel’s monologue has amassed more than 26 million views across YouTube and other social media platforms.

Kimmel humorously noted in his monologue, “I’ve heard from a lot of people over the last six days. I’ve heard from all the people in the last six days.” He ventured into the broader conversation about free speech, emphasizing the importance of living in a country that allows the existence of shows like his, despite their perceived triviality.

His temporary exit stemmed from comments he made regarding the death of Charlie Kirk and a pending murder investigation. This elicited strong criticism, with Nexstar Media, which operates several stations, announcing it would replace his show programming for the “foreseeable future”.

In a wave of political resonance, Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr issued threats to ABC, Disney, and Kimmel in light of the controversy.

After deliberations among various stakeholders, the Walt Disney Company declared on Monday, September 22, that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would resume taping on Tuesday. However, Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media revealed their affiliates would continue to interrupt the program.

Kimmel expressed gratitude for his return, indicating that he felt fortunate to work for a large corporation like Disney that welcomed him back despite the risks involved: “I shared my point of view [with Walt Disney Company], they shared theirs. We talked it through.” The previous high watermark for his monologues was in May 2017 when he discussed the health complications of his infant son, which captured the emotional and philanthropic attention of the audience as he encouraged support for healthcare initiatives.
