Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel returned to air Tuesday night after a brief suspension from ABC parent company Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS). In his return, Kimmel set new high marks for viewership and may have silenced criticism from President Donald Trump over "bad ratings," at least temporarily.
What Happened: The highly anticipated return of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday saw strong viewership, based on initial data, even with several regional broadcasters choosing to boycott airing the show.
