During THANKSGIVING week (week of November 24, 2014), ABC's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE shot up week to week by 24% in Total Viewers to its most-watched week ever (3.649 million), while hitting a new season high for the 2nd week in a row in Adults 18-49 (977,000).

Kimmel was up over THANKSGIVING week last year (w/o 11/25/13) in both Total Viewers (+18%) and Adults 18-49 (+3%), growing its overall audience over the year-ago week for the 6th straight week.

During the sweep, Kimmel delivered 3 of its 5 largest-ever weekly audiences (week of 11/24/14 - #1, week of 11/3/14 - #4 and week of 11/17/14 - #5) and posted 2 of its Top 5 most-watched single-day telecasts ever in late-night (Tues, 11/25/14 - #3 and Wed, 11/5/14 - #4).
