 Viewership increased throughout the show because it was a close game going in to halftime:
HALF HOUR VIEWERSHIP (Times ET):
6:31-7, 99.2 million
7-7:30, 107.9 million
7:30-8, 110.9 million
8-8:30, 114.0 million
8:30-9, 114.3 million
9-9:30, 115.4 million
9:30-9:58, 117.7 million
None care about Madoodoo, the teams playing have far more significance in terms of viewership pulled. It was silly to hold that against Bernard.
