MEDIA WINNER: Greg Gutfeld
Fox News dominated the ratings race Tuesday in the valuable demographic of viewers age 25-54, with host Greg Gutfeld making two separate appearances in the top five most-watched among younger viewers. Tucker Carlson, whose latest controversial (but not entirely surprising) move is defending podcaster Joe Rogan’s latest controversial (but not entirely surprising) move discouraging young people from getting vaccinated, was most-watched overall Tuesday, with Tucker Carlson Tonight averaging 2.95 million total viewers, and 506,000 in the key demo, according to data from Nielsen.
The Five, co-hosted by Gutfeld, was second in total viewers, with nearly 2.7 million, and third in the demo, with 383,000. Hannity was third in total viewers, with 2.58 million, and second in the demo, with 410,000. The Rachel Maddow Show was fourth in total viewers, with 2.49 million, but with 357,000 viewers in the demo, Maddow didn’t make the top five with younger viewers. Gutfeld’s eponymous late-night show, Gutfeld!, was also fifth in the key demo, with 364,000, and had 1.57 million total viewers.
Fox was first overall in total day, averaging 1.52 million total viewers and 260,000 in the demo, and was well ahead in prime time as well. CNN was third in both.
Gutfeld's double hit in the top 5 is a capper on Fox's big ratings day. |
