A two-hour American Idol (17.15 million viewers, A18-49: 5.0) led Fox to a win on a relatively slow night.

(3.14 million viewers, A18-49: 1.2), week two of Bent (2.63 million viewers, A18-49: 0.9/2.36 million viewers, A18-49: 0.8), and Rock Center with Brian Williams (3.27 million viewers, A18-49: 0.8).
