Rachel Maddow on Monday night yet again proved she is a major draw for MSNBC, which has struggled to recapture her audience with other hosts.

On Monday night, Maddow brought in 2.1 million total viewers and 226,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic.

In October, MSNBC averaged 1.18 million total viewers during prime time and 114,000 demo viewers, significantly less than Maddow’s audience.

Lawrence O’Donnell was the second highest-rated host on MSNBC Monday night, bringing in 1.52 million total viewers with Maddow as a lead-in.

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