It starts off the fall with its best rating in five months. Jeopardy and Family Feud tie for the overall No. 1 spot in syndication.
WEEKLY SYNDICATION RATINGS ROUNDUP
‘Live With Kelly And Ryan’ Jumps To Lead the Talkers
Live with Kelly and Ryan flourished in the first full week of fall, forging ahead to its highest rating since May and leading all talk shows for the 19th week in a row (including ties) in the session ending Oct. 2.
The Nielsens had Live spiking 7% to an 18-week high 1.6 live-plus-same-day national rating, while hitting a weekly best 1.8 for its Kim Kardashian interview on Sept. 26.
Dr. Phil came closest, clocking a steady second-place 1.4.
Most daytime shows were handicapped by extensive coverage of Hurricane Ian and its trail of destruction. Nevertheless, all three rookie talkers were gritty, holding their ground with Sherri, Jennifer Hudson and Karamo at a 0.7, 0.6 and 0.3, respectively.
The most-watched access magazines, Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight, were both up 5%, to a 2.3 and a 2.1, respectively, with ET scoring its strongest stats in 20 weeks.
At the top of the chart, Jeopardy and Family Feud were tied at a 5.0, with Jeopardy flat and Feud picking up 4%.

Most impressive is the performance of 3rd year talker, The Drew Barrymore Show. In the same frame in 2021 the then hour-long Drew Barrymore pulled a 0.5. This year, in its new 30 minute/2 ep format, the show is up to a 0.8, a 60% increase year-to-year.
