‘The View’ Pulls Highest Ratings in 10 Years With Post-Election Panel of Pain

0

The 2024 presidential election results left The View’s co-hosts with much to reflect on last week. It appears that much of America felt the same way, as people tuned in to the ABC talk show in droves, bringing the highest ratings in over a decade.

According to Nielsen data obtained by Variety on Tuesday (November 12), The View averaged 3.078 million viewers for the week of November 4. It was No. 1 among talk shows and even more stunning among news shows, overtaking juggernauts like Today and Today with Hoda & Jenna.

The Wednesday, November 6 episode in particular — the day after the election — brought in 4.470 million viewers, The View’s most-watched episode since Barbara Walters’ farewell on May 16, 2014. On that morning’s live show, the cohosts were utterly despondent in the wake of the election being called in favor of Donald Trump. Most of the panelists were dressed in black to match the funereal tone. Sunny Hostin was shell-shocked, “I’m profoundly disturbed.”

.@JoyVBehar: “My takeaway is that the system worked. We live in a democracy. People spoke. This is what people wanted. I vehemently disagree with the decision Americans made, but I feel very, very hopeful that we have a democratic system in this country. We should value it.” pic.twitter.com/BII0NDSzhB— The View (@TheView) November 6, 2024

.@ananavarro: “Today, unlike Donald Trump and his followers, I acknowledge that he won. I hope for the best for our country. And I make a commitment to our LGBTQ, to our immigrants, to our elderly, to our young girls, to the women, that we will not stop fighting.” pic.twitter.com/iiyvqCchuM— The View (@TheView) November 6, 2024
