Cable News Ratings, Thursday January 13: Gutfeld! Crushes Time Slot, Beats Maddow in the Demo

Mediaite StaffJan 14th, 2022, 5:27 pm
 

Fox News’ late-night talk show, Gutfled!, continues to score in the ratings, decimating its time slot competition.

The Greg Gutfeld hosted 11 p.m. show brought in 1.97 million total viewers on Thursday night, far surpassing Don Lemon and MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, which raked in 347,000 and 779,000 total viewers respectively.

Gutfeld also hit above his weight for an 11 p.m. show in the key 25-54 age demographic, bringing in 343,000 demo viewers. That was enough to beat out every CNN and MSNBC show in the demo.

Rachel Maddow led the non-Fox programs with 311,000 demo viewers. No CNN show crossed 200,000 viewers in the demo.

Here is a full breakdown of Thursday’s cable news ratings by show:
