Updated at 10:33 a.m. PT with final Nielsen ratings: With 16.82 million total viewers, Lesley Stahl’s “60 Minutes” sit down with Donald Trump was the CBS newsmagazine show’s most-watched episode since its Stormy Daniels interview in 2018.
A good World Series Game 5 on Fox faced off against an even better NBC “Sunday Night Football” game last night, when football won once again. CBS was also a player on Sunday, when Lesley Stahl’s contentious “60 Minutes” interview with President Donald Trump landed a huge audience of 15.6 million following an afternoon NFL game.
Due to the nature of live sports, we’ll have to wait for final, time zone-adjusted numbers later today to really get a sense of how well Game 5, Seahawks-Cardinals and even the Stahl-Trump showdown performed.
