From its first half-hour to its second, “Last Comic’s” 18-49 rating grew by a powerful 22 percent (to a 3.9/11 from a 3.2/9).
The ratings news isn't all good however -- the 8.6 million total viewers for this week's episode is a significant drop from the 9.7 million viewers that the series drew last week during its special double-episode premiere.
