Worst TV ratings ever for retooled People's Choice
"In what may be a harbinger for Sunday’s reveal of the Golden Globe Awards winners on NBC, ratings for the scaled-back 34th 
annual 'People’s Choice Awards' on CBS tumbled to record lows," reports Variety. "And in a clear sign of auds not liking what they saw, ratings dropped with each half-hour. The People’s Choice Awards had announced last month that — due to the writers strike — it would replace its traditional live show with a new format that had its crews, including host Queen Latifah, delivering trophies to stars on location.
"According to Nielsen estimates that include same-night DVR playback, Tuesday’s 'People’s Choice' averaged a 1.6 rating/4 share among adults 18-49 and 5.96 million viewers overall — down sharply from last year (3.5/9 in the demo and 11.33 million viewers)." READ MORE
Poor Latifah seemed like she was going bonkers all alone in that room. But I watched it and was happy to since there was still a show. I'll be watching the Globes too.

Let me say someting though. Queen Latifah might just be the only person that could have "pulled" it off like that. Any other person would have bombed.

People's Choice and the American Music Awards are the worst awards shows on TV...they really should just can these two shows...they're not worthy of any TV fare...the same recipients always win...they're just totally irrelevant...just embarrassing
