Anderson Cooper Viewership Soars 89 Percent With Ex-Playmate Karen McDougal Interview
Donald Trump’s alleged affairs aren’t good for his marriage or the country, but they’re great for cable news ratings.
On Thursday, Anderson Cooper welcomed former Playmate Karen McDougal to “AC 360,” where the two discussed the affair she says she had with President Trump. As a result of the great booking, Cooper’s viewership (compared to the average of his last four weeks) at 8 p.m. soared 89 percent. His Nielsen rating in the key 25-54 demo jumped 55 percent.
“AC 360” hauled in 2.214 million viewers from 8-9, with 608,000 of them coming in the main demo.
