Jimmy Kimmel can do a lot of things, but when it comes to savings the virtual Emmys from record ratings lows, even he can only do so much.
The 72nd annual Emmy Awards, also known as the first (and hopefully not annual) virtual Emmy Awards, air Sunday on ABC. By Monday, we’ll likely have new record-low TV ratings for the Emmys — though the Nielsen numbers may not drop as much as you would think.
Last year, Fox’s turn with the Emmys
drew 6.9 million total viewers, which was down 32% from 2018 (10.2 million total viewers) to a new record low.
