What to know

  • Trump administration launched a 24/7 YouTube stream called Trump TV following its revocation of White House press access for CNN, Politico, and MS NOW.
  • The channel's viewership collapsed rapidly—from 8,500 viewers on its first Monday night to fewer than 500 by the next morning, according to Kimmel's on-air commentary.
  • Kimmel used comedy to mock both the channel's poor performance and Trump's track record, comparing it unfavorably to other ventures bearing his name.

“It peaked with an audience of about 8,500 people on Monday night. By this morning they were down to fewer than 500 viewers.”
