And You Thought Joan Rivers Was Rough on Annie Duke…
Joan Rivers' all-out war with Annie Duke claimed an innocent bystander: Sally Field.
The final hour of Sunday's Celebrity Apprentice finale, featuring Rivers and Duke's last shots, dominated the season closer of Fields' Brothers & Sisters, 10.2 million viewers to 8.8 million, per preliminary Nielsen estimates.
Brothers & Sisters also got outdrawn at 10 p.m. by the season finale of The Unit (9.7 million). The ABC series fell about 1 million viewers shy of its season average.
Celebrity Apprentice, meanwhile, packed in about 3.5 million from its start to its Rivers-crowning finish. Its three-hour average was, well, average: 8.2 million viewers.
Elsewhere in the weekend ratings:
• On one hand, Cold Case (11.8 million) made a case for coming back in the fall, with its season finale putting a serious scare into Desperate Housewives (12.1 million).
• On the other hand, Cold Case ran fourth among adults 18-49 in the 9 p.m., Sunday hour, and didn't seriously challenge Housewives for the demographically desirable.
• Justin Timberlake's latest collaboration with Andy Samberg wasn't just a viral hit. Per NBC, Saturday's Timberlake-hosted Saturday Night Live scored the show's biggest overnight ratings since the Jonas Brothers-graced SNL back in February.
• The season finale of The Amazing Race (10.4 million) was on par with the show's season average.
