Jimmy Kimmel's ratings have been slipping significantly in 2025. His show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" averaged about 1.77 million viewers in Q2 2025 but dropped sharply in the summer, with an August average of just 1.1 million viewers—a 43% decrease from January's 1.95 million. The key demographic of viewers aged 18 to 49 also fell drastically, with only 129,000 viewers in August compared to 212,000 in January. This decline puts Kimmel well behind late-night rivals like Stephen Colbert and Greg Gutfeld. His overall ratings have been in a year-long slide and his household rating hit a low of 0.35 in August 2025.
