According to the Huffington Post, The Joy Behar show is “on a roll.” In the Land of Huffpo, a roll is apparently defined as finishing fourth in its 9 pm time slot with an average of just 417,000 viewers per night.
Not to burst Behar’s bubble or diminish the importance of finishing in the all important number four spot, but TVbyTheNumbers.com recently took “the first 50 days of ratings for Headline News’ The Behar Show and compared them to the final 50 days of the show she replaced, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell. So far, Joy’s done no better in the ratings.”
Is it just us or was “Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell” a show you found by accident when there were no good infomercials on?
Behar topped her average ratings only three times during the 50 day period. Her featured guests on those nights were Martin Short, Levi Johnson and Roseanne Barr – a gay icon and two celebrities everyone thought were dead.
Have fun figuring out which is which.
