If Nielsen is correct, only the master control operators at CW affils were watching last night's installment of the "CW Happy Hour" package of standup specials, a set by Marina Franklin that I guess went straight to video and has been available on various VOD and streaming platforms for months-- it got a 0.0 rating and saw the over 900,000 viewers of "DC's Stargirl" running to their remotes at 9 p.m. ET:


Oh well, as C-Dub likes to say, when you get that social media and streamer love, who needs ratings?

I honestly had no idea they were even airing standup last night (although, to be fair, I'm weeks behind on the CW Berlanti/Arrowverse shows - I binged on 4 episodes of Legends of Tomorrow last night...)

Last week they ran Jim Gaffigan's 2018 standup special "Noble Ape" in that timeslot. I watched it. Really funny, though the commercial breaks seemed to be inserted haphazardly.

Weren't the commercial breaks preset from the Comedy Central broadcast?

Which might explain why the ‘Dub is moving up the premieres for “Coroner” and “Tell Me A Story” to late July/early August. (Adam can tell us what to expect from the even-newer British loaners.)
