Even though we are still being preempted in 60 American cities, on Tuesday we had our second-highest-rated show in almost 23 years on the air. Our monologue from Tuesday night has over 21 million views just on YouTube alone. And I wanna say, we couldn't have done it without you, Mr. President. Thank you very much.

The return of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday received a whopping 6.3 million viewers, ABC announced Wednesday. CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter reported on Wednesday that the show received more three times the number of viewers of a typical episode, with viewers tuning in to see host Jimmy Kimmel's reappearance after being temporarily suspended over comments he made regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Michael Eisner, Disney's former CEO who ran the company for 21 years and oversaw its acquisition of ABC in 1995, does not think his successor, Bob Iger, made the right decision in moving to put Jimmy Kimmel Live! On indefinite pause following threats from Trump-appointed FCC chairman Brendan Carr. In a post to X about the Kimmel situation, Eisner - who once opted to suppress the theatrical release of Martin Scorsese's Kundun in response to pressure from the Chinese government - questioned "where has all the leadership gone?"

A day prior, the comedian's late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", was pulled from the air by ABC indefinitely following pressure from Nextar, a media company that owns ABC affiliate stations, and FCC chair Brendan Carr after Kimmel's comments on the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

"I was shocked, saddened and infuriated by yesterday's suspension and look forward to it being lifted soon," Lindelof wrote in a post to Instagram on Thursday. "If it isn't, I can't in good conscience work for the company that imposed it. If you're about to fire up in my comments, just ask yourself if you know the difference between hate speech and a joke. I think you still do. And Jimmy? You've ALWAYS known what you were doing. Love you and support you."

We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
