Ratings: ‘Better Late Than Never’ Debut Scores After ‘AGT’
The NBC reality show “Better Late Than Never” debuted Tuesday to the summer’s top demo rating and overall eyeball count for a brand-new series.
Starring Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman and Jeff Dye, the bucket list alternative comedy earned a 1.6/6 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 7.4 million total viewers. Of course, lead-in “America’s Got Talent” is mostly to thank for that strong tune in.
NBC was first in ratings with a 2.1 rating/8 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 9.8 million, according to preliminary numbers. “AGT” at 8 p.m. ET earned a 2.4/9 and 11.1 million viewers. “Better Late Than Never” followed.
