Featuring guests Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on its third day broadcasting from Brooklyn (Thursday, 11/1/12), ABC's Jimmy Kimmel LIVE was up over the prior day by 7% in Total Viewers (2.519 million vs. 2.355 million) to attract its biggest overall audience in almost 1 year – since 11/22/11. In fact, Thursday's telecast ranked among "JKL's" Top 10 most-watched ever (No. 8).

In addition, the first-time visits by the Comedy Central hosts gave the ABC late-night program its 2nd-largest Thursday audience in its nearly 10-year history.

Jimmy Kimmel serves as host and executive producer of Emmy Award-nominated "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the ABC Television Network's late-night talk show. Now in its tenth season, "JKL" is packed with hilarious comedy bits and features a diverse lineup of guests including celebrities, athletes, musicians, comedians and humorous human interest subjects.
