Coming off a sting of all-time lows for the Television Academy event, that’s a rise of 16% from last year when Jimmy Kimmel hosted the Emmys on ABC.
Now, the 2021 Emmys still are down a hard 34% in terms of sets of eyeballs from the last time CBS hosted the ceremony back in the first year of Donald Trump’s reign of error in 2017. It should almost be noted that the 7.4 million number is just for linear TV. No out-of-home or Paramount+ streaming data has been released yet, though I hear the latter was strong-ish.

Also, when you do the math, Sunday night’s Emmys hold the distinction of being the third-least-watched ever behind 2020 and 2019. Held on a Monday on NBC, the 2018 Emmys pulled in 10.2 million, a low at the time.
