Nexstar<\/a> and Sinclair really missed out.<\/p>\n

The affiliate groups boycotting Jimmy Kimmel Live! missed airing \u2014 and selling ads \u2014 on what could become Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>\u2019s most-watched monologue in many years, if not ever.<\/p>\n

Kimmel\u2019s return to ABC on Tuesday night (watch the video, below) featured a nearly 30-minute show opening that included the host\u2019s emotional monologue where he thanked those who supported him during his suspension, attempted to clarify his controversial comments about Charlie Kirk<\/a> and, most of all, passionately defended free speech.<\/p>\n

So far, the show\u2019s official YouTube<\/a> account has clocked the monologue video at eight million views in just nine hours. Kimmel has many short clips from his show of sketches and guest interview segments that have racked up tens of millions of clicks over the years, but Wednesday night\u2019s monologue is looking like it might set a record in terms of opening monologue videos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
