Newfound enthusiasm about Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s show is not evaporating after just one monologue.<\/p>\n

Kimmel\u2019s Wednesday night follow-up<\/a> to his Tuesday night comeback show<\/a> quickly racked up millions of views on YouTube on Thursday morning, indicating that interest in Kimmel\u2019s commentary remains way above normal.<\/p>\n

By 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, the Wednesday night monologue had topped 5 million views<\/a>, enough to rank as one of his most-watched videos of the year on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his emotional Tuesday night monologue has surpassed 20 million views on YouTube<\/a>. That one already ranks as his most-watched monologue of all time on the platform.<\/p>\n

The surge in online viewership is partly because Kimmel\u2019s show has been blacked out by Nexstar and Sinclair<\/a>. The two local TV station operators control ABC-affiliated stations in markets that represent about 23% of American TV households.<\/p>\n

Nexstar said Wednesday that it is having \u201cproductive discussions\u201d with Disney, while Sinclair referred celebrity.land back to its earlier statement on the matter.<\/p>\n

On traditional television, Kimmel\u2019s return episode scored at least 6.3 million viewers<\/a>, according to Nielsen measurements. That figure will increase once other forms of viewing are factored in.<\/p>\n

Kimmel alluded to his ratings performance on Wednesday night, and he mocked President Trump\u2019s recent Truth Social post that bashed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was his big closer: \u2018Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad ratings,\u2019\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cAnd he does know bad ratings: He has some of the worst ratings any president has ever had. On behalf of all of us, welcome to the crappy ratings club, Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n
