I'm interested in how few people watch Live's YT clips.

It could be a function that 64% of the audience is over 35.  But, Sherri and Jennifer Hudson's clips get more viewers every day, by a wide margin.

Here's Wednesday's most watching Live clip

Sherri had 16 times more views

And J Hud got 20 x's more views

The celebs were equally famous, and their stories were equally banal, so they were not driving views.  But, it is interesting to see how a low-rated show could still make some revenue from YouTube.

Even today's goodbye to Ryan clip got 20% fewer views than the Nikki Bella clip on J Hud.
