Paris Hilton bigger TV draw than Bush
NEW YORK (AP) --
Paris Hilton was a bigger television draw than President Bush this
week. So, for that matter, was Mark Harmon.
ABC's interview of the president by Diane Sawyer, telecast Tuesday,
only two days after the capture of Saddam Hussein was announced, was
seen by 11 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Meanwhile, Fox's "The Simple Life," with Hilton terrorizing an
Arkansas town, was seen by 11.9 million, Nielsen said Thursday.
During the half-hour where the two shows competed directly, ABC's Bush
interview had 11.3 million viewers.
Meanwhile, the CBS drama "Navy NCIS" starring Harmon had an audience
of 12 million.
Bush can console himself with the knowledge that he was more popular
than a "Whoopi" rerun, which had 7.3 million people watching on NBC.
