‘Wendy Williams’ Makes It Two In A Row

Wendy Williams, not too long ago dismissed as a small syndicated talk show with a fan base only in New York City, ranked No. 1 among all talk shows for a second consecutive day on Tuesday with a 1.28 rating and 9 share among women 25-54, based on Nielsen ratings in local people meter markets. (Wendy premiered yesterday to a 1.6 demo rating; Ellen also had a 1.6 for its season premiere last week.)

Wendy, which is produced and distributed by Debmar-Mercury, slightly outpaced Warner Bros.’ Ellen, which had a 1.22/7. CBS Television Distribution’s Dr. Phil had a 1.07/6 on Tuesday.

Disney-ABC’s Live with Kelly and Michael and NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution’s Steve Harvey rounded out Tuesday’s top five syndicated talk shows with a 1.06/8 and 0.79/5, respectively.
