The 73rd Annual Primetime EMMYs may have rocked headlines in 2021 for ending a multi-year ratings slump for the ceremony (as we reported here), but its successor can’t boast the same.
Viewership: 5.92 Million
Hosted by Kenan Thompson, TV’s biggest night – which aired live Sunday (September 12) – proved itself a historic night for Black women with the likes of Zendaya and ‘Abbott Elementary’ stars Sheryl Lee Ralph and Quinta Brunson marking milestones with their trophy take-homes, but official ratings reports suggest the 74th annual edition of the awards show has also been penciled in history books for another reason: lowest ratings ever.
Having to contend with Monday Night Football’s season debut on ABC and ESPN proved too much for the 2022 EMMYs.
The first time the show aired on a Monday since 2018, the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards raked in 5.92 million viewers – an all-time low for the ceremony (which also streamed on Peacock). The figure represents a 19% viewership drop from what the 73rd Emmys pulled in for CBS.

Because they’re giving out all these fake black sympathy awards to pander to the black community and come off inclusive. Even a child can see right through it.
You just want an excuse to be ignorant and racist. Zip it. Award shows ratings have been dropping every year for the past decade. People don’t give a f*** about award shows anymore. And that’s across the board. You can thank social media and streaming for that.
Agree and especially when artist win and the artist that should win is toss aside. This is so true for Grammys as Adele stated a few years back. What really needs to take place is to upgrade the board to these awards shows. Meaning these old h*** that is stuck in a generation of what should and shouldn’t is just growing old.
thank you. This chile is troll with a vendetta against all things black/urban culture, all the while pretending to be a online raptress with fake albums and a Trina persona. This is the WORST type of person. #catfishqueen

Ignorant and racist how? By saying black people deserve to win because of their talent and not to be used as pawns? And didn’t you just call me a “black b****” and a “black p**** h***?”
@WTF
Still playing your rock game while using my name? Oh how SAD, dear!
Do your research before you comment you ignorant catfishin POS. A decline in awards show viewership has NOTHING to do with black people. You’re always looking for an opportunity to belittle black people and it’s disgusting.

Are you f****** DUMB? Stupid question because YOU ARE. And if I WANTED to do that, I f****** would, and there isn’t a damn f****** thing you could do about it so you may aswell shut your çúńt and get over your obsession with me.
Yeah yeah yeah chile. No rebuttal to me fact checkin yo ignorant ass I see. Just as I thought. Come correct next time hunny.
#queeninnamealone #catfishqueen
Saying black people being deserving of genuine awards as opposed to being used to make an awards committee look good is belittling them? You dumb f**!
FACT CHECKING ME WHERE? WHERE? You don’t want it with me, you ghetto, uneducated moose.
And for the record, there is something I can do about it: call out your ignorant duplicitous hateful ass every opportunity I get by fact checking your ridiculous comments. This is a public forum after all. Keep it cute sis.
You are exactly why blacks are seen as dumb and easy to be used. Be happy about THAT.
Like that will keep me quiet? Keep wasting your time.
No rebuttal to my statement, I see.
Girl don’t do that lol. What statement are you referring to exactly? I provided you with a researched article explaining the decline in awards show viewership. Now show me where, as you state, that awards show ratings are declining due to networks pandering to black people. I’ll wait.
“Saying black people being deserving of genuine awards as opposed to being used to make an awards committee look good is belittling them?”
You did NOT say this in your original comment. What the hell is wrong with you? And for the record, this is an ignorant OPINION not a fact.
I didn’t read your article. Regardless of what you say, a lot of people have the same views as me, that the sudden surge of black awards are not genuine. Black people are rarely, if ever, recognized for what they give to music, film and tv. That is all.
See per usual, you have nothing to support your I’ll-informed asinine comments. Thank God for your “that is all.”
You have nothing to support that i’m wrong. Just some article most-likely written by whites, or at the very least OVERSEEN by whites from an white-owned newspaper/website. That’s all folks!
And the possibility of the article being written by a white journalist is of any relevance because? Whew chile…whenever you idiots are backed into a corner ya’ll throw red herrings left and right.
I made my point while you failed to even allude to having one. How proud your mother must be. If she even raised you, that is. Probably not…
Point proven. AGAIN…how is the RESEARCHED article I cited being write by a white person relevant? Is the white person biased in favor or blacks? If so, how? Biased against blacks? If so, how? Stop deflecting and explain idiot.
Girl, your point is based on an ignorant opinion. My point that low viewership has nothing to do with blacks is supported by researched facts. You say my fact-based point is based on research likely conducted by a white journalist and distributed by a white media company. I say: how is that relevant? You say: 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗. I say: 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This dumb b itch just couldn’t keep up lol. She definitely cant win an argument
It was actually a good show this year
Awards shows are generally trash, but I enjoyed the Emmys this time around.
I guess streaming services was part of the problem but i have better things to worry about like P
Take your racist ass off this site.

You seem triggered snowflake. Did i hurt your feelings?? Thought you said you wasn’t black. Now this really proves that deep inside you know you black but dont want to admit it. I posted that to get your reaction and i actually did. You’re the problem calling yourself white yet you black. Im not racist infact all my friends are black & as i stated earlier im not white
You’re a fat, white, French f**. You’ve already admitted to this.
And to say all your friends are black is in itself racist and ignorant. Educate yourself.
When did i admit to that you delusional brown b itch, first you said im jynx, now french what next, alien??? But im greatful to know who you are
Writing and speaking the same way you always do, unable to hide the fact that you are Jynkx – a fat, white, French f**.
You are racist. The end.
Speaking? Lol im not even talking. But you just made my day cuz you hella funny & delusional. Thanx for that. Im far from racist & really love brown p ussy
So you fetishize black and brown women? You are a racist p**.
Why you wanna know so much about me? Clearly you obsessed with me, look for me lol!! Dont be afraid i wont harm you
Award shows and celebrity culture are dated asf. Nobody cares anymore lol. Back in the day celebs had mystique. The only time we could really see them in action outside of work was at award shows. Now most have proven to be annoying and problematic on social media. We do not care. The last time I watched an award show in full was prolly 2015.
Even Black folks are watching BET not this ashy messssss💅🏾 Screaming 😱
Shayla is a racist flop and not a real woman LMAO
Preach!!! Lmaoo
Preach!!!
@WTF
You’re saying that to someone who calls me a “black b****?” So racism IS ok if it’s aimed towards someone you don’t like. Got it. So if racism is ok sometimes, it’s ok all the time.
Look who they had hosting..he has NEVER been funny even on Kenan and Kel he was never funny..it was Kel who made that show..only reason Kenan is making it is bc his love of snow heauxs…even the show they tried to have on his name didn’t work bc the bish just is NOT funny, at tf all
Jesus, Allah, Buddha and Michael Jackson’s ghost could host and it would still flop….lol
Mhmmm
