Wednesday TV Ratings: ‘Masked Singer’ & ‘Survivor’ Split the Night

Jim Halterman April 23, 2020, 12:15 pm

The mysterious celebrity singers and the stranded castaways split Wednesday night broadcast television. Leading the pack in the key 18-49 demographic, Fox’s The Masked Singer, with guest judge Sharon Osbourne (above with judges Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger), grabbed a 1.7 rating with CBS’ Survivor taking the number two spot for the night with a 1.5 rating.

In total viewers, the shows flip places with Survivor grabbing the top spot with 8.10 million viewers and The Masked Singer coming in second with 6.70 million viewers. NBC’s One Chicago trifecta of first responder dramas, which aired their season finales last week, saw their numbers understandably drop now that they’re in reruns.

Pleased that both Goldbergs and SEAL Team had a good night. The recent ratings weakness of SEAL Team led me to fear for its renewal. Schooled had a big dropoff. Millionaire with Kimmel and celebrities, as I predicted, is foundering badly. I think a new version could do well with a likable host and real contestants. Is anyone really interested in seeing Jane Fonda?!? The ratings clearly indicate they were not.
