Last Friday evening, Piers Morgan beat all of his CNN colleagues in both total viewership and the key 25-54 demo.
Morgan’s 145k demo viewership was enough to beat out his next-best colleague, Anderson Cooper, who racked up 136k in the demo.
In total viewership, Morgan garnered 809k viewers, beating the rest of his CNN colleagues by a wide margin — Cooper was the closest with 592k total.
