Ratings: Megyn Kelly’s Alex Jones Interview Struggles Against US Open Golf
Megyn Kelly’s interview with InfoWars host Alex Jones didn’t quite make par last night.
Despite Fox airing the final round of its U.S. Open Championship, ABC actually finished atop Sunday’s leaderboard with its game show lineup.
Fox was a close second among the key 18-49 demographic, though CBS was runner-up in total viewers. NBC finished third by that Nielsen metric, and fourth in terms of overall eyeballs. Kelly’s 7 p.m. newsmagazine show averaged just a 0.5 rating/3 share and 3.5 million total viewers.
