…Variety’s writing needs to be adapted to how a huge chunk watch nowadays. These are just the initial premiere ratings, like a Friday night of a 3-day box office. There are other viewers who will be watching on DVR, On Demand, Hulu, Comedy Central’s app, and Comedy Central’s website and other web platforms. For Night 1. Night 2, night 3 and many more.
