2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement does not consider the year-over-year changes in the show's ratings, which could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the show's performance ^[2]. The statement also does not account for the impact of individual episodes on the show's overall ratings, such as the episode featuring Greg Gutfeld ^[2]. Furthermore, the statement does not provide comparisons to other late-night shows beyond Q2 2025, which could offer additional context for the show's ratings ^[3].

The sources cited may also have different agendas, such as promoting or criticizing specific shows or hosts, which could impact the accuracy and reliability of the information presented ^{[7] [8]}. For example, President Donald Trump's comments about Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and his criticism of Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers may be motivated by political biases ^[7].
