Tamron Torrid Despite World Cup Wipeout

Review based on a national syndicated rating report for the week ending November 27, 2022.

Syndication’s only top shelf strip coming up big in the otherwise low-rated holiday session ending Nov 27 was Tamron Hall (new season high 0.8 live plus same day national Nielsen rating, up 14% from the week before and up 33% from last year at this time).

The hit program’s episode harvesting the most households of the week was its November 21^st daytime TV exclusive interview with former first lady Michelle Obama on November 21.

World Cup soccer on all five weekdays scored a near syndie knockout, slamming shows in a preemption-filled Thanksgiving and Black Friday session in which almost everything in first run went down.

Jeopardy (new season low 4.5, down 26%) had the climactic conclusion to its annual Tournament of Champions, but took a steep dive anyway. Wheel of Fortune (new season low 4.1, down 24%) went off the rails and Family Feud (new season low 4.1, down 18%) flopped.

Besides Tamron, the only two in-production talkers able to shrug off the World Cup and avoid any declines were Kelly Clarkson (0.9, steady) and Drew Barrymore (0.8, steady).

Live with Kelly and Ryan (1.5, down 6%) continued to reign as the loudest voice in talk for a 26^th straight week.

Entertainment Tonight (1.9, down 14%) was the highest-rated magazine. Inside Edition (new season low 1.8, down 22%) was next in line.
