But you know what? They would’ve pulled more if Joan Rivers was on the carpet.
Just saying — she packs a mightier punch than Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic put together! (We can’t wait to hear what she has to say about the best and worst dressed on Fashion Police this week!)
Anyway, regardless of the hosts, people definitely tuned in to watch the pair chat with the stars and gawk at the designer wear. The telecast, which ran from 6pm-8pm EST, attracted nearly 1.7 million Total Viewers, scoring quite a significant gain in the time period, nearly tripling the prior four week benchmark and nearly doubling the network’s Primetime norm.
In other words: they scored big with this one!
On to the Oscars! Maybe Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will talk to Ryan again! (Remember that time they totally snubbed him? Ha!)
