Friday TV Ratings 8/21/26: Anna Pigeon and WWE SmackDown Rebound, Celebrity Jeopardy! Repeat Tops a Quiet Night on Broadcast, Real Time with Bill Maher Goes Low [+ Analysis]

ABC's Celebrity Jeopardy! rerun (0.21) was the top performer on broadcast on Friday night, but the 20/20 repeat (0.14) that followed dropped markedly from there. NBC aired repeats of America's Got Talent (0.14) and Dateline (0.15). CBS aired drama reruns (0.11/0.15/0.11), while Fox continued with reality (0.12/0.14). Totally Funny Animals (0.03, -0.01) dipped on the CW, and the decline continued for the 9:30 episode (0.02, -0.01). Key: (R) = repeat.

Tuesday TV Ratings 8/18/26: Liberty/Sky WNBA Game Tops Cable as Fever/Tempo Game Tops It In Viewers, Beat Shazam Dips to Season Low, America’s Got Talent Rises Again [+ Analysis]

It was a night of declines for Fox as Kitchen Nightmares (0.24, -0.02) and Beat Shazam (0.19, -0.04) both shed some hundredths. In contrast, the CW's WWE NXT (0.14, +0.05) rose dramatically, enough so that it beat ABC repeats of RJ Decker (0.13) and Will Trent (0.07/0.07) in the key demographic. Over on NBC, America's Got Talent (0.41, +0.04) climbed higher, but Password (0.23, -0.01) ticked down. CBS aired reruns of NCIS (0.16) and NCIS: Origins (0.14/0.12). Key: (R) = repeat.
