Thursday Final Nationals: 'Impractical Jokers' Hawaiian Special on truTV Leads Original Cable Telecasts

A best-of auditions special of “America’s Got Talent” lifted NBC to win Thursday night in total viewers (5.85 million). With “Big Brother 19,” CBS remained the demos leader among adults 18-49 (1.5 rating/5 share), adults 18-34 (0.7/4) and adults 25-54 (1.5/5).

The hourlong mid-season premiere of the sixth season of truTV’s “Impractical Jokers” was cable’s most-watched original telecast in prime time among total viewers (1.17 million) and adults 18-49 (0.54 rating). The four friends pulled pranks in the state of Hawaii for this Paradise Lost episode. It was the most-watched telecast of “Impractical Jokers” since the Nov. 3, 2016 Nitro Circus Spectacular (1.23 million) and the second-most in nearly two years (Live Punishment special on Sep. 3, 2015: 1.74 million).
