I Had My Doubts About Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s New Show, But The Ratings Reveal NBC Found The Perfect Partner For AGT
The summer season months usually imply unscripted competitors exhibits on the foremost TV networks, and that has largely been the identical within the 2025 TV schedule. NBC had a brand new present to pair with mainstay America’s Obtained Expertise this time, nonetheless, and I wasn’t positive that even the AGT lead-in can be sufficient to safe Vacation spot X an everyday weekly viewers. Effectively, the scores are in for early days of the summer season season, and the Vacation spot X/AGT pair could possibly be precisely what NBC wants in the summertime any further!
Between two hours of America’s Obtained Expertise’s milestone twentieth season and one hour of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Vacation spot X, Deadline experiences that the exhibits having been doing nicely sufficient to make NBC Tuesdays the #1 leisure evening of the summer season to this point.
The outlet experiences numbers from NBCUniversal that complete 24 million viewers this summer season for AGT throughout NBC and Peacock, whereas Vacation spot X has reached 14 million throughout each platforms. (You’ll be able to sustain with each exhibits on Tuesday nights or by streaming with a Peacock subscription.) Usually, a discrepancy of ten million can be an enormous deal, however not a lot once we’re speaking in regards to the constant summer season winner and a model new present.
Plus, contemplating that Vacation spot X obtained off to a considerably convoluted begin and even Jeffrey Dean Morgan had his doubts about internet hosting, I’m formally shocked to see the freshman journey competitors sequence doing so nicely.
Much less surprisingly, AGT after seven days ranks as the highest leisure sequence of summer season 2025 in complete views. Assuming that the dominance continues by way of the remainder of the season, then AGT would be the #1 broadcast summer season various sequence for complete viewers for the twentieth consecutive yr. Speak about a method to have a good time a milestone season!
An attention-grabbing piece of information for Vacation spot X is that the present rose in viewership by 52% for its third episode. Not each sequence can improve its viewers measurement following a premiere, however the post-AGT choice probably earned the increase by introducing Love Island USA’s JaNa Craig and Bachelor Nation’s Peter Weber in that episode.
Contemplating that the primary actuality movie star contestant – former Large Brother winner Josh Martinez – was eradicated within the premiere, I can think about that the timing was splendid for Craig and Weber’s arrivals. Each are presently nonetheless within the operating for the grand prize as nicely. Weber hasn’t even been despatched to the Map Room but, so he’s having a fairly good run to this point… even when he does have the sting over a lot of the different contestants of having the ability to be a part of a pair episodes in.
NBC clearly has a very good factor occurring Tuesday nights this summer season, and I’d be completely shocked to my core if information breaks that America’s Obtained Expertise is ending with Season 20. I’m extra interested by the way forward for Vacation spot X. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a prolific actor who needed to be satisfied by spouse HIlarie Burton to tackle the internet hosting gig within the first place. I may also think about that filming throughout Europe could possibly be more and more difficult shifting ahead. With the numbers that Vacation spot X is producing to this point, nonetheless, maybe it’s a present that might be a summer season staple alongside AGTx for years to come back.
For now, simply hold tuning in to NBC on Tuesdays beginning at 8 p.m. ET for brand new episodes of America’s Obtained Expertise and Vacation spot X. You may as well stream subsequent day on Peacock.
