Jimmy Kimmel has been making his best audience for ten years for his return to television

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, whose suspension caused heated debates about the Trump administration pressures towards the media, recorded an explosion of their auditory figures, with 6.2 million viewers for their return to television, according to the figures published on Wednesday.

After a week of interruption, the host returned to the air on Tuesday night and took the opportunity to give a nose to the US president, who had judged that his suspension was mainly due to his public Mal.

Donald Trump “did everything possible to cancel. Instead, he forced millions of people to see the program,” said Jimmy Kimmel. “He turned against him in a huge way.”

The 6.2 million viewers presented by the ABC channel represent the best performance of the “for more than 10 years” program, according to a Disney press release, owner of the channel. And this, despite the fact that the program was not transmitted by almost 25% of the country’s local channels, which continue to boycott the humorist.

The audience of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday was more than four times more than the average of the last season of the program. More than 26 million people have also seen the humorist’s opening sequence on social networks.

A “scandalous behavior”

Jimmy Kimmel had an indignant Trumpist camp last week, accusing US law to politically exploit the murder of the influential ultra conservative Charlie Kirk.

In the process, the American audiovisual head (FCC) had denounced a “scandalous behavior” and implied that he could withdraw his license from the channels that transmit the program.

Two groups with dozens of local channels, Nexstar and Sinclair, announced that they refused to transmit the program, causing a crisis that had led ABC to suspend the program throughout the country.

Donald Trump had immediately praised a “great news for the United States” and called to deprive other figures of “night shows”, these popular night shows in the United States.

“A government that threatens to silence an actor who does not like the president is anti -American,” said Jimmy Kimmel on his return on Tuesday night.
