Hey, Susan Boyle, Next Time Think Robert Pattinson
ITV
Susan Boyle finally showed up on America's Got Talent last night. And the crowd went mild.
The summer-dominating NBC show turned in a (relatively) weak performance, averaging 11.1 million viewers, per preliminary Nielsen estimates, despite a heavily promoted segment with the YouTube superstar.
NBC was so hot for audiences to see Boyle meet obsession Donny Osmond that the network made it known it wouldn't air President Barack Obama's press conference if that show meant preempting America's Got Talent. (Obama blinked and moved his presser to 8 p.m. ET.)
Judging by the numbers, NBC—and Boyle—could've used a sexier crush.
