The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Because his ratings were in the toilet.

Umm, nope.

Kimmel averaged 220,000 adults 18-49 during the second quarter (three months ended June 30), according to data from Nielsen. That was 1,000 more than Colbert and marked Kimmel’s strongest performance with the demo in a year.

By comparison, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon averaged 157,000 in that time, well behind Kimmel and Colbert.

A ratings rise of any kind is notable in 2025. Changes in viewing patterns, with more people now watching streaming video than traditional television, have cratered ratings for virtually every show on television. Even the most popular franchises, like NCIS and Law & Order, have seen ratings drop precipitously from a decade ago—and even more from the 2000s, when Kimmel’s show debuted.


Hey, when you're wrong, you're wrong.

And you're wrong.
