CNN's Harry Enten showed evidence that President Donald Trump's attacks on Jimmy Kimmel may have backfired.

The late night talk show host was suspended last week after the administration threatened to pull broadcast licenses for ABC affiliates that aired his program, and the president threatened to sue the network after it reinstated Kimmel following widespread public outcry.

"Absolutely huge," Enten began. "What are we talking about here? Well, let's take a look at YouTube views, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' video views. The six-month median, the median video only gets 240,000. Look how many views Tuesday night's monologue already has 6.7 million. That's over 25 times as large as the median Jimmy Kimmel video normally gets, and I was looking, it is by far the largest video in at least six months."

"So if Donald Trump's idea was to give Jimmy Kimmel more press and more viewership, he absolutely did," Enten added. "So, of course, I don't think that is what Donald Trump intended to do."

Enten found additional data that showed how Trump's attacks on the late-night comedian had only generated interest in his program.

"So we got this 6.7 million, I will note that that number is up already about 700,000 from the last time I checked, which was about an hour ago," Enten said. "But take a look here: Record-high Google searches last night for 'what time is Jimmy Kimmel on?' You wouldn't have to check what time Jimmy Kimmel was on if you were a regular viewer. The reason that people were checking whether what time Jimmy Kimmel was on, because he was pulling, potentially pulling in a lot of viewers who normally didn't watch and get this, it was up over 10,000 percent – my goodness gracious. This, of course, dates all the way back since 2004, basically, since Jimmy Kimmel was first on the air."

"So no, it was not just on YouTube," Enten added, "there was a ton of interest, what we're talking about, nationwide, worldwide, in terms of what time was Jimmy Kimmel on, because I don't normally watch him, but maybe I want to take a gander because maybe I'm interested to hear what he has to say."
