"Low ratings"
Trump is a jackass, so he lies about everything. Kimmel has the second-highest viewership in the States, behind Colbert.
If we want to talk numbers, Trump's "The Apprentice" had a max 20 million viewers (peak was in season 1 😂), which took a nosedive each year for the entire run of the show.
Kimmel's YouTube channel has over 13 BILLION views with over 20 million subscribers and gaining over 100,000 new subscribers per month. Factor in viewers from TV and he destroyed Trump's show no contest.
Late night shows do not do that well in all honesty. Being 2nd behind Colbert in a dying format is not a mark of success.
Ah, yes. Discourse.
Maybe not on "TV", but as a streaming show, it's far from dying.
They get views on YouTube clips. That’s about it. That revenue is not really comparable.
No idea what the revenue is, so you could be right on that.
Well with people ditching TV as a whole, I wouldn't be surprised if late night were suffering the worst.
