Rosie O'Donnell's Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest hosting debut is proving to be a ratings success, with the first three nights drawing impressive audiences. Her debut episode on Monday received 1.87 million total viewers, the highest among the show's guest hosts this summer according to preliminary Nielsen figures. O'Donnell also led in the 18-49 age demographic, with 218,000 viewers.
While the final numbers may increase as delayed viewing is accounted for, her opening monologue on Monday has already garnered 2.6 million views on YouTube, followed by 1.3 million for Tuesday's and over 740,000 for Wednesday's. The political intrigue surrounding her booking is evident, as Kimmel introduced her as a "special treat for our commander in chief."
O'Donnell has navigated her Trump antagonism, initially avoiding his name but later thanking "President Oompa Loompa" for reviving her career. Her four-night run concludes on Thursday, August 20th, with a diverse lineup of guests and a summer high-water mark in Kimmel's guest hosting history.
