Seth Meyers’ post-debate “A Closer Look” primetime special drew in a 73% bigger audience than his 2020 entry, TheWrap can exclusively reveal.
The hourlong election special, which aired on Wednesday, Sept. 11 — the day after the first debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — drew 2.6 million viewers as it aired from 10-11 p.m. ET on NBC, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day figures.
That’s up 73% from Meyers’ 2020 election special, which aired a half-hour segment in October 2020. The 2024 “A Closer Look” episode also saw an uptick in the key broadcast demo among adults 18-49 when compared to four years ago.
