Jimmy Kimmel revealed during his Wednesday, Sept. 24 monologue that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos sent his staff an ice cream truck as 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' returned to air.

Jimmy Kimmel just joined a long list of hosts whose biggest ratings came with their most contentious moments — some survived, others didn't.

Jimmy Kimmel opened his second night back on the late-night stage by taking on President Donald Trump’s latest attacks against him and his network ABC, describing the president as a “80s-movie-style bully.

The late-night host’s highly anticipated comeback was met with both praise and criticism as the issue continues to divide.

During his second night back on the air, Jimmy Kimmel fired back at President Donald Trump's threat to sue ABC following the late-night show's return.

On traditional television, Kimmel’s return episode scored at least 6.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen measurements. That figure will increase once other forms of viewing are factored in. Kimmel alluded to his ratings performance on Wednesday night, and he mocked President Trump’s recent Truth Social post that bashed him.

ABC announced on Sept. 17 that it had suspended Kimmel's late-night show "indefinitely" after he made comments about Kirk's death.
