The 2023 show hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, which aired on NBC and was available for streaming on Peacock, recorded a 1.1 rating among the key adults 18-49 demographic and 6.3 million viewers, which was down from the previous year.

The series also won best drama series.

The showing marks the “second-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever in terms of AMA and reach.” The awards show landed the top trending spot on social media with nearly 30 billion potential impressions.
