“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (M-F 11:35 p.m.)
Fresh off delivering 4-month highs the prior week in the National Live + Same Day ratings, ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” returned to Brooklyn, New York, for five original shows starting Monday, Oct. 15, and matched season highs in Households (2.1/6) in the 56 U.S. Metered Markets and Adults 18-49 (0.6/4) in the 25 LPM Markets. In fact, excluding the NBA Finals-led broadcasts in June, “Kimmel” tied its highest Adult 18-49 rating (0.6/4) on any single night in late-night in more than 7 months – since the Monday, 3/5/18 telecast, following Kimmel’s second turn as host of the Academy Awards®.

“Kimmel” kicked off the week as Monday’s No. 1 late-night talk show among Adults 18-49 (0.6/4) in the 25 LPM Markets, beating CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” by 50% (0.4/3). Monday’s “Kimmel” welcomed Adam Sandler and featured a special remote performance by Eminem atop the iconic Empire State Building.

Broadcasting from the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House for the fourth time, “Kimmel” delivered its 2nd best start yet to a Brooklyn week in Households ((2.1/6) in the 56 Metered Markets, behind only the prior year’s Monday. In fact, “Kimmel” outdelivered the opening night of the first time the show aired from Brooklyn 6 years ago by 31% in Homes (1.6/5 on 10/29/12).
