Kimmel Is Killing It!

Maybe he should have ripped Leno a new one long ago!

Jimmy Kimmel Live has been doing amazeballs in the ratings!

Last week, the show drew in their largest audience (1.72 million) in 9 weeks and it has increased viewership by 6% from this time last year. Also, Kimmel beat Jimmy Fallon for the 5th time in 6 weeks and even trumped Craig Ferguson across all key women demographics, which seems particularly unfathomable.

Keep it up and maybe one day, Jay Leno can take The Tonight Show away from you, too!
