The Hilton Interview: How it ranks…
The New York Post’s Michael Starr writes about where on the rankings Wednesday’s Larry King Live Paris Hilton interview winds up…
Hilton’s first post-jailhouse interview Wednesday night was easily CNN’s best night this year in terms of viewers - but ranked as only the 52nd-highest audience in “LKL” history.
And it didn’t even come close to the nearly 17 million people who watched the 1993 NAFTA debate on “LKL” between Ross Perot and Al Gore - still a basic cable record for total viewers.
(CNN competitors Fox News Channel and MSNBC didn’t exist back then.)
The King-Hilton interview also didn’t draw viewers away from FNC’s “Hannity & Colmes,” which averaged 1.6 million viewers Wednesday in the same timeslot (9-10 p.m.) - on par with its June average.
looks like fox was very busy the day the ratings came out.

Her interview was hyped more than the Superbowl, and that’s the highest rating LKL could manage?
It did not live up to the hype ratings wise, no matter what people want to say.
Two years ago LKL got a 5.7 rating for covering an emergency landing of Jet Blue airliner.
His biggest rating was 15.6 million for a NAFTA debate.
52bd highest rated show for Hilton is not good.
LKL interview will probably not even make the top five cable shows of the week.
See, CNN you should stick to real news, it gets you better ratings.
