Emmy ratings reach record low with 25% viewership drop from last year.
Television's biggest night took a big hit on Monday night. Despite a historic night of wins, the Emmys experienced yet another historic downfall with a mammoth 25% drop-off in viewership from last year marking a record low for the special. The fall is especially troubling considering the awards show was seemingly on the rebound in 2021 following its previous cratering during 2020.
The 74th Emmy Awards only managed to draw in 5.9 million viewers compared to 7.9 million in 2021. Although the show was also streamed live on Peacock, the data isn't available yet. Those viewership numbers also fell a fair bit below 2020 which reached 6.4 million viewers. Thanks to being on NBC this year, the show was moved out of its typical Sunday slot for the sake of the ever-popular Sunday Night Football.

Again, the previous low was set by the 2020 show which still sat at a 1.3 rating. 2020 also had the excuse of being held near the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, making those numbers a bit more understandable and forgivable.
