Jimmy Kimmel's return to late night TV after a near weeklong suspension brought his show its highest ratings in a decade, Disney has said.
Some 6.26 million people tuned in to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday - about triple its average ratings - despite about a quarter of ABC stations in the US not airing it.
A further 26 million watched Kimmel's emotional 28-minute monologue on social media, Disney said.
