Viewership is also fragmented across many different networks and streaming services, and several shows don’t have a wide audience. Of the 128 Emmys awarded before and during Sunday’s show, 18 went to the Big Four broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.Reginald Hudlin, an executive producer of the Emmys telecast, said Monday that it has been hard for all of the major awards shows to get the audiences that they had been used to.
“We’re not three networks anymore,” Hudlin said. “We went from three networks to 60 with cable, and with streaming services there’s just endless choice. “So people are now used to watching a show that’s specifically for them,” Hudlin told a webinar organized by the law firm Fox Rothschild on Monday. “No matter how narrow that audience is, there’s a show that speaks to, ‘I’m a left-handed person who loves fishing’ ... And the challenge is there’s not a thing that connects to everybody.”
The Canadian comedy “Schitt’s Creek,” which was once shown on Netflix but has since been airing on the little-known Pop TV network,Since the show was structured to frontload the comedy awards, the Emmys were on the air for an hour Sunday before any show other than “Schitt’s Creek” won an award. ABC and Kimmel, mindful of being accused of airing an obscenity, flashed the show’s name on the screen every time the title was mentioned.ADVERTISEMENT
Oh they’re going to blame the pandemic for that low rating. How about they blame the crappy TV shows and their woke culture of shaming. Couldn’t be more irrelevant.
I wonder if the Hollywood elitists realize how irrelevant they have made themselves with their holier than thou attitudes? Doubt it...but it’s fun to watch the downfall.
Who cares? Just a bunch of socialists giving other socialists trophies.
Because, really, who cares?
The country is in mourning.. it is broken. Has been like this now for nearly 4 years
The Emmys, the same as the Oscars, are in the way to be extinguished in a few years, as long as a bunch of sociopaths prefers theirs poor criteria over the people's general opinion ...
No one wants to watch three hours of fake crying/fake surprised faces and having to listen to thousands of “and I want to thank everybody who changed my diapers” speeches. That era is over.
Wokeness is bad for business
Who want's to see the women with there bosom out, and all the pomp people, who have sold their soul's to be on film and famous and rich and arrogant.
Good, woke shit can burn.
More Diversity!
And after Anthony Anderson made Jimmy Kimmel bark like a seal (for laughs?), they'll probably be half of that total next year.
Silent majority has spoken.
No. One. Cares. About. Hollywood.
Who wants to watch garbage? Academy Awards and NFL headed in same direction. Late night talk shows would be right there if weren’t bundled in cable programs. Wake up! Bring back the apolitical good times in sports and TV!
Rofl
No one wants to watch the politics. Used to be a funny evening at our house with neighbors but politics ruined it. Just like NFL and NBA.
People are sick of worshiping false idols. That most celebrities are terrible people.
Very few care what they have to say.
No one cares about award shows.
Burn Hollywood...burn
Watching Hollywood eat itself alive, I am now thinking that is the point.
NOBODY CARES 👎🏾🎃
Maybe they need to revisit prior Emmy awards due to white privilege - or start applying quotas for different interest groups such as transvestites in order to show more diversity
Fuck yes
No one cares about those assholes
People want to watch smart people. Actors are dumb, especially jimmykimmel The math is pretty easy.
no one cares about celebrities anymore people realised how stardom works, push globalist propaganda and win awards
Two more years of down ratings and will just be reruns for FOLLYwood lovers to watch. Reminder JimmyKimmelLive you a$$holes along with rich athletes have no special soapbox to tell us who to vote for. Besides DefundBLM are marxists who just took down anti nuclear family webpage
😂😂😂
Get woke go broke
I do think we are at the end of watching people get gold statues for being on a movie set
Who wants to tune in to see a bunch of immature hypocrites lecture Americans and ridicule our POTUS?
What? Missed it again. Had no idea it was on. Watched football.
Everyone is sick of their self riotous bullshit.
Good.
they have made it so political no one wants to watch Hollywood talk about whats going on in the world like they are affected which they say defund police but have their own who protects them but rest of us to have protection is wrong
Unless the 1% are being humiliated im not interested in watching them. Make them dress up like clowns like lady gaga and make them do degrading challenges like eating another celebrities shit and i will consider watching next year.
Was it on ?
Probably didn’t help that a giant racist like jimmykimmel was hosting.
Barnes_Law Stay woke.
6.1 million morons are still watching that garbage?
Gee I can’t imagine why.
MrBeastYT gets like 5 times of that per video. A dorky youtuber beats all the combined star power of Hollywood, why is that jimmykimmel ?
Probably has something to do with the average person not being interested in a far left self loathing circle jerk.
Everyone is sick of politics and the angst that goes with it.
Entertainmenters are suspose to entertain the people, not politically bully them. No wonder the entairnment industry is failing.
Biden voters
No quality shows and no one wants to watch a woke celebrity circle jerk
Pretty sad when a record number of people are staying home these days and you still cant get views lol
owh noooo... the almost high school educated political specialists got no ratings...
luismen1991 Oooo, I can’t wait to see what the Oscars are going to be like!
I wonder why
Trash
I wonder why...
Maybe the Emmys should be shown on a Friday Night.
I'm glad people have more important things to do.
Hmmmmmm...... let’s think about how they could be....
bc Emmy Award was for excellence in the television, you can reward garbage but ..
What's Emmy?
Me2S3M ...who gives a damn about Hollywood or Emmys nowadays..?
OcrazioCornPop Leave politics and all the virtue signaling out. Until then, I won't watch.
🤭I didn't even know it was on 😂
CancelTheEmmys
Because they talk political SHIT! STOP the political bashing!!! We don’t care to hear it from Hollywood! Get it TheEmmys
A large majority of the 'awards' are to people who check the right boxes for being gay/brown/etc. Who cares?
I wonder why?
jimmykimmel killed TheEmmys
That’s 6.1 million people too many, in my opinion. What is wrong with this country 🤦🏻♀️
OcrazioCornPop
OcrazioCornPop Nobody cares to watch celebrities patting themselves down on the back and taking potshots at Republicans. If they really wanted viewers they’d make fun of self-important liberals.
OcrazioCornPop Geez, an average episode of Tucker Carlson almost gets that many viewers 🤣🤣🤣
Get woke go broke
luismen1991 Given a choice of watching a blackface, virtue-signaling, untalented hack like jimmykimmel, alternating between pandering to blm & taking cheap shots at the un-woke half of the country OR watching a blank wall for 4 hours, I pick the wall.
Almost never watch “TV”. Would never watch dumb awards show.
That tells us that in the 21st century the actors suck.
There are too many shows and streaming apps, it’s just too much. People I know, didn’t watch or have even heard of half the shows that won. The public can’t keep!
I don’t watch cause I don’t care
Just wait for next year; new record!
luismen1991 Guess why
luismen1991 Hahahhah
That’s because TV sucks
gowokegobroke.
Our country is going to shit so we don’t care
1. Nobody cares anymore. 2. There are too many networks and too many shows to keep up. I don't watch ANY of the nominated shows and actors because I just dont' have the time.
Yup it’s low cuz people’s houses have burned down in fires(California & Oregon), people with no jobs, people starving. Good for those in Hollywood in their “expensive homes & not have to worry bout food”... hey TheEmmys people are struggling & how much did those Statues cost?
We don’t want lectures on the wonders that leftist politicians & policies do for them! Their hatred for our President realDonaldTrump is frustrating as the hatred for us his supporters! Why will I support them when they virtue sign and insult me?
We aren't in a celebratory state of mind.
Kids that play with glue on youtube get more views than that...
YAWN.....
Nobody cares
Seahawks were playing, or I’d have been watching.
Duh!!! Americans are over Hollywood touting its own accolades, We just don’t care
DUMP COVID trump AND cronies. MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN. INDICT & RE-IMPEACH NAZI tRUMP AND CRONIES , THEY KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS THREE YEARS AGO , BUT CUT C.D.C. AND FAILED TO MAKE A VACCINE FOR CORONA . INDICT AND JAIL CORRUPT REPUBLICONS WHO ENABLE CON trump.
Ha! Good
hollyweird is canceled.
Because
I’m surprised that many ppl watched it. I would gave guessed less than 1 million.
No music, not funny.
Who are the mindless people watching shows like this?
Hard to believe that many people watched.
No one gives a shit about white wash shows
Jimmy kimmel enough said
Barnes_Law Its because its all political now No one wants to listen to there Bullshit.
Losers!
BoycottHollywood
Hollywood celebrities are non-essential. Thus the Emmy's are NON-essential.
Maybe TV is shit... ever thought of that?
Who really wants to watch overblown, sequincovered narcissists condescending to them about issues they have no business pontificating about? Not I. They can shove their stupid award.
If COVID-19 proved anything it’s that Hollywood is non-essential!
Because of their prejudice ideology about Conservatives views, they as well as the Oscars and Grammys will have a loss of viewership
Probably because most of us don't care......
Can’t believe it was that much.
I saw it was on and I immediately went to bed
You know what they say , “three is a trend”
The only thing less interesting than TheEmmys is JimmyKimmelLive. When is Hollyweird going to realize that Americans can do without your political opinions. Same lesson NBA and NFL are learning.
Wonderful News
I wanted to watch, but I had paint drying; a nice blend of cobalt and ivory. Captivating. HollyDuds
Maybe these actors will stop supporting organizations that are burning our cities down like Justin Timberlake and Seth Rogan.
Only a 12% drop with Kimmel hosting? It seems more realistic that they’d only keep 12% of their prior year audience.
Need to hire Ricky Gervais to host
Love the leftists trying to act like it was cause covid and not because of their toxic political screeching
Who are these 6.1 million people?
It wasn’t very good but I appreciated the effort.
haha that's fucking funny they should just end them seeing as they are racist and just full of white privilege anyway
I sure didn’t watch. Can’t stand those actors telling me how to vote.
Hollywood is dead
America is sick of the pandering wokeness punctuated by shitty sketches.
It's all woke garbage nobody's watching this horrible media.
Wow, who knew 4hrs of pandering to blm wasn’t great for viewership. It’s clear that anyone who didn’t watch the emmys is a racist.
Womp womp
I’m not usually this person, but we got a lot of real world problems. Celebrating privileged celebrities winning awards is not a priority in my book right now.
6.1million is a lot of cable viewers nowadays
Maybe they didn't do enough racism
Bc it’s sucks and is a political show of which the public is sick of
Its so UNimportant.
That's because people do have real life issues to deal with. Most of these celebrities can't relate to the struggles of millions, so why should people invest their time and energy keeping up with them!
Lol good
One year is a blip. Two is a trend. Three means change is coming.
cuz its boring as fuck
Because regular people have no interest in what overpaid,total out of touch, mostly uneducated celebrities have to offer to everyday Americans.
Keep lowering it until it cant afford to be shown.
Good. Stand back and watch it burn
Kind of surprised it had 6.1 watching.
Emmys were in TV?
I mean I didn't even know it was airing until the morning of.
We are over it!
Hollywood is dead.
We despise Hollywood.
no masks and no social distancing Hoax
We dont care about rich people giving each other awards
Good. Hollywood is dying and I couldn’t be happier.
Leftist politics will continue to drive even minded folks away.
Hahaha😂😂😂Good!!
Wonder why...
Who cares about the Emmy’s ......
Evidently these bubble heads just can’t grasp the cruel fact that nobody gives a shit about their options, lifestyle, or shallow ness. Awards and their self serving recipients are so yesterday!
ACAB- All Celebrities Are Bullshit
DaddyLo16477689 Obviously they're just not 'woke' enough. Turn it up some more!
Emmys? When?
They literally had a “captive” audience
Because people are realizing celebrity culture is pure shit.
Good
The emmys were on?
With content like this it'll be even lower next year.
Heres one rule you don't break. You must hook the audience at the get-go. The beginning skits were so poorly written , so un-funny that they lost me (I always watch Emmys) so I bailed, and prob millions more like me. I don't make those rules. They must have known&seen it coming.
Go woke, go broke
Ya berating a white guy who once wore blackface is just not that entertaining.
I wonder if the network wants a refund from Jimmy. BTW canceljimmy
Maybe they should try nominating Rhea Shehorn and not giving every single award in a genre to one show, just spitballing here.....
Population is growing but viewers are declining. Not a good sign.
It's not interesting to hear celebrities jerk themselves off for an hour or two.
I wonder why...?
6.1 mil even sounds like BS. Phony friggin Jimmy Kimmel and all the other crap that comes with it...
6.1 million idiots
Can't watch liberal asshat millionaires babbling for any length of time
Haha. Using Sunday night football. Well that was down too. Really who gives a shit about the NBA !! Viewership was down because of peaceful protesting. We weren’t watching !!!Just saying.
lol
People don't like to watch millionaires give each other awards? Insane.
The show is too long. Even in an pandemic it’s was 3 hours long. All that filler shit can be axed out. Pass out those awards then go home. Same goes for the Oscars. 2 hours is all we need.
America is tired of these WOKE celebrities
How was Blackface last night? Did he do good?
Because Hollywood got too political
No one cares about the hypocritical Hollywood elite!
“You absolutely love to see it” — AOC
Entirely too political.
No one cares about political infomercials panned off as entertainment/sports/news
Until Hollywood stops pushing their woke agenda down people’s throats, viewers for this type of garbage will continue to drop.
We simply don’t care.
I watched, but I must say it's difficult to watch wealthy people congratulate each other during a pandemic and all that entails. No job, hungry, housing security.
Barnes_Law Because most of us are sick of their vile opinions. If we really knew these people personally we wouldn't want to be around them.
Ummm. PANDEMIC! Does it matter, really? Great just seeing something other than our democracy under attack by its own government. Thank you Emmys!
They will never get it! Nobody wants to listen to a bunch of Hollywood elites preach their bullshit!!!
So when will they get canceled? I mean, it's pointless to keep it going.
No one gives a shit about these unimportant celebs anymore. We as people have broken free from these chains! hollyweird HollywoodPedos
A lot of haters here and I think a lot them watched the show.
We don’t care anymore, we despise them
Cuz it sucks
Do you get it yet?America is sick of hearing whining millionaires complain about our President.
Good. Fuck em!
Even with people quarantined at home and not having much to do.... this is really pathetic Can't blame em though. Kimmel is really hard to watch.
5 million of those people had just fallen asleep without turning off the tv.
I wonder why that is? 🤔🤦🏻♂️
NewsBlurt What’s an Emmy and why do I care?
Because real Americans are sick of being lectured by out-of-touch, woke assholes.
I work in the entertainment industry, and I do not like these award shows. They don’t represent the craft and work that goes into these projects, and so so many are never acknowledged or recognized.
WokeAndBroke
Textbook circling the drain.
Barnes_Law 'But muh woke politics matter' Probably around the same time these idiots decided to go far left
Sorry. I am a Patriots fan! Game before Emmys.
Can we really care who wins a meaningless award? Sheesh!
You know if there's one thing good that comes out of this pandemic BS is that it will kill celebrity culture. How can multi-millionaires who are waited on hand and foot expect people who have lost their jobs or family members/friends to the virus watch this?
Sad to know there are 6.1 million people with nothing better to do.
3 mill watched just to make fun of them
shouldn't that headline read 'Only a measly 6 million people watched the Emmys last night.'
I enjoyed it. It didn't seem to be as promoted this year and it wasn't with a live audience so less interest.
This should be a sign that the silent majority is growing bigger
🤣 lgb1060
Couldn't pay me enough money to watch anything hollyweird. Nothing but a bunch of evil vile pedophiles!
That’s too bad. I was busy watching paint dry. Politics doesn’t need to be a part of every second of our lives.
There is too much good TV on to watch the Emmys.
It's because it's terrible, and getting even worse. The end.
I’ve always wondered what kind of sycophant actually watches an awards show
Seems high
Hollywood destroyed themselves
It was up against Sunday Night Football and the NBA playoffs. Of course no one watched.
Shocker
Barnes_Law Gee I wonder why. Doesn't anyone care about the celebrities anymore? Answer....
50 plus now...
no one cares
That number seems high
The self congratulation of celebrities is the last thing I am interested in. That last thing I am going to listen to is one of them lecturing me about anything.
The shows that get awards suck and no one wants to hear Jimmy Kimmel insult republicans.
Barnes_Law It is relaxing to a bit of TV now and again but most people are bored of celebrities, I think.
without Neal Patrick Harris you dont really have a show
They should have been more anti Trump it’s the move. Look at the NBA, NFL, MLB. Get woke go broke
I can't imagine why 🤷🏼♂️
at least those 3 old women were watching
Hollywood is trash
Barnes_Law Nobody wants to watch that garbage!!
About how many people play Among Us simultaneously any given evening.
Get woke go broke!!! Same for Hollywood, NBA and NFL even though half of America is indoors and bored.
What show?
Barnes_Law Because woke awards shows suck.
Maybe if they weren’t terrible human beings people would watch.
Barnes_Law amazed it's that high. do airports switch to cover it?
Our communities are burning to the ground - no one wants to see wealthy pointless people accept meaningless awards - get a clue! 🙄😡
Go woke for broke
That’s cause the Patriots and Seahawks game was much more entertaining
And that’s with everyone staying home and not having anything to do lol
Barnes_Law And they still can’t figure it out
Well that is really surprising. I thought everyone liked to be lectured to by entertainers
🥱😴
The show has become complete shit.
Barnes_Law Because they suck. They showed their true colors!! America doesn’t like what we saw!
6.1 sounds high. Not sure how anyone can watch them? Their better than you attitude has caught up to them 😂😂😂
Get woke, go broke
Can’t imagine why
6 million with blue hair, piercings and alot of pronouns
Who cares about these awards and hollywood when people are losing jobs, cities are being destroyed by violent protestors These pampered rich should go help their communities instead of just bashing the president and doing nothing!!
And for good reason
Pretty devastating number. In 2016 they had 11.3 Million viewers.. Perhaps it was the casual racism?
Who wants to watch self-important actors and their political BS?
Makes sense. Hollywood got really annoying.
Can they just admit that the Emmys are just BORING 🤷🏾♂️
Maybe people is tired of political correctness bullshit?
Barnes_Law Can’t imagine why? 🤷♂️
Maybe take out the politics and there could be a few million more watching.
It was a boring show, except when Mark Ruffalo won and his speech was nice.
Womp womp womp
Go woke, go broke.
Oh shucks!
Gee, I wonder why...
Lol.
Go woke go broke...
Their politics is so overwhelmingly smug and self righteous that they lost what we liked about them to begin with.
Awwwwwwww... That sucks..lmao .. academy awards are next....
LOL
I’m surprised that many people watched. A bunch of out of touch celebrities making bad political jokes. No thanks.
I’m surprised that many people watched.
And those idiots probably still don't have a clue why no one was watching. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's because they ignored a lot of quality shows and entertainers.
Get woke go broke! HAHAHA No one cares about Hollywood celebrating themselves anymore!
6.1M, you can't count all the airports and other agents and celebs 5 TV's all on at their house. falsecovidnumbers
Cry
You mean jimmy “black face” didn’t help out?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've seen videoconferences at work more engaging than the Emmys.
that's....catastrophic...
Dont watch award shows. Also I have been avoiding most network shows because of the political ads. I am beyond tired of the political ads
tell us more how racist and sexist we all are, while accepting your participation trophies.
The Who !
Politics out of the Emmys!
Because nobody cares about Hollywood giving itself awards
6.1 million? I bet every one of them wears a mask in the car Who actually watches millionaire celebs congratulating each other?
There’s more entertaining content made by average everyday people on YouTube.
As long these shows continue bad-mouthing our President, their ratings will tank.
Watching paint dry on HGTV is more enlightening.
Hollywood is dead.
It's a self congratulation award ceremony for the actors and actresses thrown by themselves for themselves. In an age of endless choices for entertainment it's only a matter of time before this parade of nariccisim is passed on by the general public.
I think it's a waste of time. These people already make enough money, why are we giving them awards on top of that?
No one cares anymore. Have an award show for our heros, our teachers and our medical professionals.
I’m surprised even that many people watched. Screw Hollywood
Is that Catherine O'Hara in the middle?
The only way to boost the ratings is to have Ricky Gervais host. Handing the elite a shit sandwich to eat.
NFL Sunday Night Football
Hello! Nobody gives a shit!
I never really liked watching these shows anyways. With everyone on social media, it seems rather pointless. This meant more when there wasn't so much exposure of celebrities.
Not everyone pays for T.V. and not right one show wins all the awards every year.
And yet it’s trending all over twitter, I wonder how much that cost them?
Nobody cares.
SelimSeesYou there was a emmys?
The anti-white racist rhetoric would put anyone off. I don't do racist. and those award shows are racist and bigoted and full of hate
Good
That's because no one gives a shit about douchebags like Jimmy Kimmel or spoiled assholes in Hollywood & on TV. We're not in this together when millions are out of work & celebrity imbeciles are lighting fires on stage to get any kind of attention they can. Try being out of work
Hollywood wants to make Trump jokes all day....we are not going to watch. They still haven’t learn from 2016.
People are stuck at home, and they still can't draw an audience.
If you’re not in the TV industry, or some kind of super-hobbyist, why would you watch? You can follow your favorite folks on social media now—not like awards shows are some rare opportunity to view celebs these days.
surprised it was that high..
GOOD
Is hollywood still relevant? yawn.
Weird. Wonder why
We don't care about hollyweird.
They deserve much less.
Ever since they involve politics, it sucks
Completed against football and basketball... and Lovecraft Country.
Didn’t watch a second !
Is it a coincidence that Emmy is M_E. No one want to hear what a bunch of narcissistic script readers have to say about anything.
Everybody is just so damn sick of the Hollywood leftist. We can't stand them. We really, seriously hate them. And every damn time, they do it again and bring up politics in their award shows. It's not about awarding good acting or good scripts anymore.
Because we're done caring about rich people and their little expensive meaningless trophies
Hollywood elites are disliked by most people. The people are moving away from celebrity culture and entertainment for new grassroots digital media. This trend will continue, and ratings will continue to fall.
Cause we don’t give a damn.
Start giving rheaseehorn some love, then maybe...MAYBE...I’ll watch.
A celebrity circle jerk is most likely the bottom of the priority list for Americans in 2020, don’t you think?
Almost like people are sick of celebrities pretending to identify with the struggles of the common person...
It was dragging in a lot of parts.
Because it’s all politics
Learn to code.
Good, they try to push their Political views upon people and that is not what people want from Entertainers.
Hey Celebrities:
Maybe bc rich people celebrating other rich people falls flat & the rest of us are working side hustles to pay bills & have no time, nor inclination, to watch that.
Ha ha, no one cares!!😆🤣 Oh how will we ever survive without self entitled Hollywierders telling us how ignorant we are?
KImmel!!!!
Go woke. Go broke They aren’t learning.
It’s hard right now
Get woke go broke
Because no one wants to see Hollywood pat themselves on the back especially during a pandemic
And the Emmy for Most Narcissists in a Zoom Series goes to *drum roll* the Emmy's!
It’s because of stuff like this
I think everyone regardless of political party are tired of watching rich celebrities pat themselves on the back.
And from the clip I saw enjoy this trend.
Wow no way, less people want to hear celebrities tell everyone how great they are?
We're a little preoccupied right now.
That's because the idea of celebrity is worthless to everyone after enduring a global pandemic
Another useless award show.
The Emmy's were on? I don't even remember seeing advertising for it...
Get woke...go broke. Love it
Fantastic news.
It's just so boring
Maybe if it was on Snapchat there'd be viewers.
And they still haven't figured it out.
