Final ratings are in for Monday’s Primetime Emmy Awards. The NBC special’s 2.4 rating and 10.172 million total viewers officially makes last night the lowest-rated and least-watched Emmys of all-time.
But hey, a couple got engaged.
Last year’s show drew 11.38 million total viewers to CBS, which means the decline from 2017 to 2018 was 10.6 percent. The Stephen Colbert-hosted version received a 2.5 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic.
Both of those prior-year stats were all-time lows at the time, though the overall audience count technically marked a tie with 2016. They’ve both since been eclipsed (in the wrong direction) now.
