The net’s trio of gamers — Holey Moley, Don’t, and To Tell the Truth — all won their time slots in the demo with Truth coming out on top for the night with a 0.6 rating.
Per usual, for total viewers, the winner of the night was a rerun of CBS’s Young Sheldon , which grabbed 4.0 million viewers. Tying for second with 3 million viewers were Holey Moley, Truth, and the first of two reruns of CBS’s Mom.
