The past month saw the debut of MSNBC's new nighttime lineup, with The Weeknight taking the 7 p.m. ET slot, Rachel Maddow returning to one night a week at 9 p.m. ET and Jen Psaki filling that time period Tuesday to Thursday. More from Deadline David Leavy To Depart As COO Of CNN, Will Return To Parent Warner Bros. Discovery Hoda Kotb, In Return 'Today' Visit, Denies Rumors She Will Succeed Kelly Clarkson With Daytime Talk Show Donald Trump Says He Plans To Pardon Reality Stars Todd And Julie Chrisley But the new shows are not reversing the trendlines vs. 2024.

Fox News Channel Beats ABC And All Of Cable News In May Ratings
For the Fox News Channel, the race in May wasn't about beating the cable news competition, but about taking its place among the highest-rated networks in all of television, outperforming ABC in prime time and finishing close behind NBC, according to preliminary ratings data compiled by Nielsen. Among total prime time viewers, CBS finished first overall with an average audience of 3.517 million viewers, with TNT (2.950 million viewers), NBC (2.942 million viewers) and Fox News Channel (2.910 million viewers) in a near photo-finish for second place. ABC trailed with an average total audience in prime of 2.696 million viewers. Fox News Channel's performance is significant for a cable news network, with FNC even out-delivering ESPN (2.291 million viewers) in a month that featured both the NBA and NHL playoffs. The month brought discouraging ratings news for both CNN and MSNBC, which each had their second-lowest rated month ever among viewers 25-54, the key demographic valued by advertisers. CNN delivered an average prime time audience of just 81,000 viewers in the key demo, with MSNBC delivering an audience of 78,000. CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper had its worst month since August 2015, with a total audience of 525,000 viewers, while MSNBC's flagship morning show, Morning Joe, dipped to just 56,000 viewers in the key demo, the show's second-worst showing in that key metric since the program's launch. In prime, Fox News Channel was up 28% versus May 2024 among total viewers, and up 39% in the key demo, while CNN fell 14% among total viewers and 16% in the key demo. MSNBC's declines were even bigger, down 19% among total viewers and down 29% among viewers 25-54. The highest-rated shows in cable news in May all aired on the Fox News Channel, with The Five again taking top honors with an average total audience of 3.766 million viewers, followed by Jesse Watters Primetime (3.326 million viewers), Gutfeld! (2.915 million viewers), Special Report with Bret Baier (2.807 million viewers), and Hannity (2.730 million viewers). In the key demo, The Five was again number one with 368,000 viewers, followed by Jesse Watters Primetime (363,000 viewers), Gutfeld! (328,000 viewers), Hannity (299,000 viewers) and The Ingraham Angle (297,000 viewers). The Five continues to be a force of nature, dominating cable news ratings even as it airs outside of prime time, when viewership is typically highest. With a total audience of 3.8 million viewers, the show beat each of the broadcast networks evening news shows in May.

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld debuts ‘fake news' game show on network's streaming service — with $50K on the line
Fox News star Greg Gutfeld is adding a new show to his already busy schedule — one that will separate real news from fake headlines. The top-rated late-night host of 'Gutfeld!' and member of Fox News' most-watched program 'The Five' will helm the cheeky game show 'Greg Gutfeld's What Did I Miss?' The three-part program, which debuts Monday, features four contestants who have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York — with no phones, internet, TV or social media — during the first three months of the Trump administration. Advertisement 3 The set of Fox Nation's new game show 'What Did I Miss?' which will debut on May 12. Fox News 'For these four contestants to learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, they'll have to get through me first. Lucky them,' Gutfeld quipped. Gutfeld will present the contestants with dozens of scenarios during their seclusion, which took place from Jan. 20 through April 13 and the winner must decipher the real headlines from fake ones. Advertisement With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their news judgment and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring 'Gutfeld!' regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow. In one clip, bewildered contestants mulled whether the following headline is real or fake: 'Dr. Fauci is finally charged with fraud and misconduct in public office for his role in COVID.' In this round, contestants worked together to figure out if the headline was legit. 'I don't think that's true,' said a contestant named Allegra. Advertisement After quick consultation, they all agreed and guessed correctly that the headline was false. 3 Fox News' Greg Gutfield is hosting the game show, which quizzes contestants on what happened during the first three months of the Trump administration. Getty Images The 45-minute shows will be streamed on Fox Nation. 'Truth can be stranger than fiction and who better to help isolated Americans catch up on the headlines they missed during an unprecedented news cycle than Greg Gutfeld,' said Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson. Advertisement 'We are excited for Fox Nation subscribers to have exclusive access to America's most-watched late night host's game show debut as he informs contestants about what really happened while they were completely off the grid and isolated from the outside world.' 3 The three-part show features contestants who have been kept in complete isolation for three months. Fox News The network is hoping to capitalize on Gutfeld's popularity. The host's late-night show, which airs from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., just delivered its highest-rated quarter in the program's four-year history with 3.3 million viewers and 453,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25 to 54-year-olds, according to Fox. That's much stronger than late-night rival 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' which starts at 11:35 p.m. Colbert's CBS show attracted 2.4 million total viewers in the quarter and 237,000 viewers in the demo, ratings website Late Nighter reported. Meanwhile, 'The Five' averaged 4.6 million viewers in the first quarter of the year, topping all programs on cable for the last 14 consecutive quarters, Fox said.
