Has cable found its next Chappelle?
Friday February 13th 2009Comedy Central’s “Important Things With Demetri Martin” was the network’s most-watched series premiere since “Chappelle’s Show” in 2003.
The comedian’s debut drew 2.4 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49. The adult demo number was the highest since 2003’s “Reno 911!” and “Things” was the fourth-highest-rated program of the night across all of cable. In fact, Martin’s premiere drew bigger numbers than its lead-out, “The Daily Show” (2.3 million, 1.2), where Martin used to appear as a “youth correspondent.”
Martin’s chart-flipping panel session was a hit at the January press tour, though his show has since drawn pretty mixed reviews. It will be interesting to see how next week fares.
