And when we tell you there was literally NOTHING else on to watch. Almost every network cancelled their programming for the evening to make way for the President's address … and STILL he couldn't get the numbers he needed.

That's a whomp, whomp situation right there!

Though down 12% from last year (and 21% from his first year), President Barack Obama's State Of The Union address nabbed 37.75 million viewers. Most people watching the telecast on cable flocked to Fox News (3.8 million), while MSNBC and CNN garnered about a million less eyeballs (2.8 and 2.7 million, respectfully)

But hey, if things work out the way we want them to, there's always NEXT year! (Fingers crossed)

Did U watch the State of The Union address? What did U think? (In case you missed it, you can watch it above)

While her husband addressed the State of the Union, Michelle Obama gave unconditional support as she glowed in blue.

Her dress, a very elegant yet chic number by Barbara Tfank, caught the eye of everyone watching.

Once again, the modern day Jackie O stays true to her reputation!!

Less people were interested in what President Obama had to say this year.

About 43 million people watched his State of the Union address Tuesday night, which was down in viewership from the previous year. In fact, about 11% less people watched the speech.

The speech was shown on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Telemundo, Univision, CNN, Centric, CNBC, Fox News Channel and MSNBC.

Meanwhile, one of the few channels that did not air the State of the Union, The CW, had its most-watched Tuesday of the season with 2 million viewers.

Guess people just couldn't miss out on Hellcats!

What a lovely gesture to make for this brave, young man!

Daniel Hernandez Jr., an intern for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, will sit next to Michelle Obama at tomorrow's State of the Union, which happens to be on his birthday.

The young man showed SUCH bravery when he rushed to Congresswoman Gifford's aid during the mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona two weeks ago.

Here's what he had to say about his opportunity to attend the State of the Union on his birthday:

"I'm both honored and excited to have the opportunity to travel to our nation's Capitol for a once in a lifetime event. Also the chance to bring my father along for his first trip to Washington, D.C. The State of the Union is a pivotal moment because it is our opportunity to find where we are and where we will be going as a nation in this upcoming year."

We hope it's a wonderful trip, Daniel! You deserve it!

…And Happy Birthday in advance!
