CBS parent company Paramount reported Monday that the Globes had 10.1 million viewers, up 7 percent from last year's 9.4 million viewers. However, these numbers are based on data from a lesser-known service: VideoAmp.

This viewership rating seems unrecoverable as people are choosing not to watch the show.
Even roast comedian Nikki Glazer, who hosted Sunday's broadcast, failed to capture the public's interest, although her performance was widely praised. The Globes will reportedly bring Glazer back for next year's show.
Last year's Globes broadcast drew just 9.4 million viewers, far less than in pre-COVID-19 years, when the show drew twice that many viewers. As of 2020, approximately 18.4 million people watched the awards ceremony.
