Last nights ratings for the Kennedy Center Honors were surprisingly disappointing.
Total viewers for the two and a half hour show came to 4.26 million
That’s down 1 million from last year.
The key demo rating was just 200,000 people under the age of 49.
The show wasn’t very good. After a promising start it careened down hill. One problem was relying on Gloria Estefan to be the occasional host and opening act. In the latter role it was unnecessary and a non sequitur. The show could have also been cut by 30 minutes. It was too long and full of extraneous material.
The poor numbers were also a surprise since the show had no competition.
