Jeopardy: The Greatest of All Time posted more big ratings for ABC Thursday, giving the network four consecutive nightly wins for the week. NBC’s Superstore and The Good Place also drew multi-episode highs in total viewers.
Jeopardy grew for the second straight night, averaging 15.38 million vs. 14.87 million on Wednesday. Thursday’s hour had a bigger tune-in than the combined averages for CBS (6.15 million for Young Sheldon and The Unicorn), Fox (4.37 million for two episodes of Last Man Standing) and NBC (2.45 million for Superstore and The Good Place).
It was down a little in adults 18-49 to a 2.2 rating, but that was still more than double the rating for its closest broadcast competitor. Following Jeopardy, ABC News’ latest Truth and Lies special on Jeffrey Epstein drew 6.24 million viewers and a 1.1 among adults 18-49.
