NBC’s “Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways” continued Wednesday with the second installment of Ellen DeGeneres’ three-night holiday special. And while it put up TV ratings that would certainly help the show make Nielsen’s “Nice” list, it didn’t do as great as its first episode, which aired Tuesday.
