The results, as reported by Media Life Magazine, are in. Last Comic Standing…
…averaged a 3.7 adults 18-49 overnight rating from 8 to 10 p.m. last night, winning its timeslot handily. It also led NBC to No. 1 for the night, well ahead of rerun-laden CBS, with a 3.5 average to the latter’s 2.6.
Lest anyone still wonder why a professional standup comic would subject himself to the vagaries of this “contest,” we remind all that each point represents roughly 900,000 viewers.
Viewer bulletin: Bravo, NBC’s supercilious and mildly effeminate little brother, is re-running the hell out of LCS. Check it out again tonight at 10 PM EDT.
