Gordon Ramsay’s “MasterChef,” and NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” bested the RNC in ratings.
Following a “MasterChef” repeat at 8 p.m., a new episode of the show at 9 drew the night’s top numbers in the demo, climbing 17 percent from last week for a 2.8/8 and attracting 6.5 million total viewers.
NBC came in second in ratings and first with total viewers with a 2.0/6 in the demo and 8.2 million. “America’s Got Talent” at 8 drew a 2.4/7 in the demo and 9.5 million total viewers, which made it the night’s most-watched program.
So Paul Ryan lied his ass off, but never mind. Americans decided to watch a prickly English chef and some variety acts.
