Jimmy Kimmel celebrated his show\u2019s return to Nexstar and Sinclair\u2019s stations by calling out Vice President JD Vance and his \u201cbulls\u2013t\u201d claims about his ratings.<\/p>\n

The comedian kicked off his Brooklyn week for \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d by happily telling his audience that the late night show was broadcasting to \u201c100% of the country tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he continued, Kimmel thanked his loyal fans, who vocalized their support amid his suspension and the show being pre-empted on Nexstar and Sinclair stations \u2014 which ended on Friday.<\/p>\n

However, he seemed less than pleased with Vance, who accused Kimmel of being talentless with poor ratings during an interview with Laura Ingraham last week.<\/p>\n

Kimmel didn\u2019t hold back with his response, noting in his monologue, \u201cVice President Maybelline was making the rounds attempting to defends his boss [Donald Trump] and the chairman of the FCC [Brendan Carr] with a new fairytale even a five year old wouldn\u2019t believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

After showing a clip from the Vance-Ingraham sit down, Kimmel taunted: \u201cI have some good news for you, J-Dog. We\u2019re back on all the stations. Every home, every bar, every strip club and every prison in America. But, sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to interrupt your bulls\u2013t. Go on.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to Vance\u2019s claim that his ratings weren\u2019t \u201cvery good,\u201d Kimmel accused the Trump administration having \u201crating somewhere between a hair in your salad and chlamydia.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we previously reported, Kimmel\u2019s return to late night television on Sept. 23 brought in a whopping 6.3 million viewers.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIn three-and-a-half years, I\u2019m not the one who\u2019s gonna be doing mascara tutorials on YouTube. How did we wind up with a president and vice president who wear more makeup than Kylie Jenner and Lady Gaga combined?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET\/PT on ABC.<\/p>\n
