The numbers are in for last night’s presidential address and the follow-up with the robotic duo Chuck and Nancy. Fox Sports Executive Vice President Michael Mulvihill shared combined overnight ratings for the major networks in a series of tweets.
Slightly more people tuned in to the two Democrat stiffs stuffed behind one podium. Mulvihill also noted that CNN and MSNBC had vastly higher numbers — 26 percent and 15 percent, respectively — for the Democratic response.
Last night’s Democratic response (9:15-9:30) outrated the POTUS address (9-9:15) by +26% on CNN, +15% on MSNBC, +3% on ABC.
POTUS speech outrated Dem response by +3% on CBS.
The two rated equally on NBC, FOX, FNC.

The two Democrats made a big hit as numerous Twitter threads declared themselves to be the best Chuck and Nancy memes thread. People didn’t care what Chuck and Nancy said. They just wanted to post-memes.

The duo didn’t come off well. Even MSNBC made fun of them. Jake Tapper just released a photo of them looking weird, without making a comment.
Maybe this Schumer tweet was a big motivator for the memes:

Chuck and Nancy should have skipped the post mortem. It was a bad idea.

There were a lot of geriatric memes:
