In direct comparison to the 2023 premiere week numbers, its average viewership marked a 21 percent increase, from 6.87 million to 8.31 million.
To be fair to anybody out there who holds Pat Sajak in high esteem far above Ryan Seacrest, the former host’s final syndicated episode drew in a bonkers 11.03 million viewers.
The first week of episodes ended with an overall average of 8.31 million viewers, as the four episodes that were telecast after the premiere averaged just under 7 million viewers.
So if he ever decides to come back and tag-team an episode with Seacrest, that could possibly break linear TV.
