In today’s roundup, TBS releases an exclusive clip for a new episode of “The Guest Book,” and El Rey Network appoints a VP of programming and acquisitions.
FIRST LOOKS
TBS’ “The Guest Book” has released an exclusive clip to Variety ahead of its new episode that will air Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. The comedy series is set at a oceanside retreat with a different guest star playing an vacationer each episode. The new episode features Michael Cassidy, Kimiko Glenn, Paul Dooley, and Jimmy Tatro.
RATINGS
Multiple shows hit seasons lows on Monday night in the broadcast ratings. “Manifest” (1.3, 6.3 million), “The Voice” (1.8, 9 million), “9-1-1” (1.2, 5.6 million), and “The Neighborhood” (1.0, 5.8 million) all saw their numbers slip enough from last week to hit new lows.
The premiere of “Jesús” starring Dudu Azevedo on Univision averaged 1.9 million viewers on Monday night, with 753,000 in adults 18-49. That gave the network double-digit audience advantages over Telemundo’s “La Sultana” among total viewers (79% advantage) and adults 18-49 (85% advantage).
