Emmy Awards Ratings and Viewership Decline, Hit All-Time Low
The primetime Emmy Awards show is reported to have experienced its third straight decline in ratings and viewership Sunday night, hitting a record low.
Toward the start of the 69th year of Emmy Awards, host Stephen Colbert brought former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer out on stage to predict that the Emmys would have “the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period– both in person and around the world.”
Ironically, the CBS broadcasted show hit an all-time record low, stealing the spot from last years’ Emmy Awards, which received a low of 11.3 million viewers, and a 2.8 rating among adults 18 to 49 in the final numbers, Deadline Hollywood reported.
The “Late Show” host, in his Emmy debut, took multiple shots at President Donald Trump that included an inauguration inspired gag Deadline called “hopeful” and “hollow.” Such routines have been the norm at start-studded award shows as of late, including at the Oscars, Grammys, and SAG awards, CNBC reported.
The ratings for Sunday Night Football were down as well.
