The prompt is what show comfortably won Tuesday night’s TV ratings with a whopping 14.4 million total viewers?
What is Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time would be the correct answer. The first episode of ABC’s Jeopardy! celebration scored a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49, more than doubling its competition on the night. That demo number is the fourth largest of the broadcast season so far, behind only the Golden Globes, The Little Mermaid Live and the season premiere of The Masked Singer. The show also beat out regular viewership champ NCIS on CBS by around 4 million viewers.
Speaking of CBS, the network debuted FBI: Most Wanted to a solid 0.8 rating and 7.2 million total viewers in the 10 p.m. time slot. That represents the largest Live+Same Day viewership for any scripted series debut so far this season. NCIS kicked off the night with a 1.0 and 10.3 million viewers, while “FBI” came in at a 0.9 and drew 9.3 million pairs of eyeballs.
Heading back to ABC, “Mixed-ish” received a substantial Jeopardy! boost, scoring a series high 1.1 rating and 4.8 million total viewers. Black-ish followed that up with a 0.8 rating and 3.2 million viewers, its highest tally in both metrics since the season six premiere.
