Well, that's not necessarily a good measure of the relative 'excitement' of any event,
because he falls asleep all the time----

(unlike 'Sleepy Joe', who had practically NO reports of him 'falling asleep'
during meetings or public events, to my recollection---
with Diaper DonOld, it's practically a DAILY event now!)

It's pretty good numbers for Paramount+. Their #1 show ‘Dutton Ranch’ scored P+'s biggest series Launch with 12.9 million.

I would guess this was the most seen UFC event ever, in April they has their most-watched event in |10 years with 2.65 million viewers




If this did 17m, then it did everything P+ wanted plus more
