Ratings: Steve Harvey-hosted 'Little Big Shots' scores NBC massive 14.8 million viewers

NBC's huge preview last week of "Little Big Shots" actually grew 16 percent in total viewers for the series' time period premiere on Sunday — and that was without a "Voice" lead-in. Yesterday's Episode 2 was actually the network's biggest Sunday entertainment show in 11 years, not counting post-Super Bowl broadcasts.

The Steve Harvey-hosted series scored a massive 2.8 rating/9 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic last night, and hauled in 14.8 million viewers overall. Last Tuesday, the series debut aired at 10 p.m., following two hours of the hit singing competition. Then, it grabbed a 2.9/10 and 12.7 million total viewers.

CBS won the first half-hour of primetime last night with its NCAA Tournament selection show, despite the bracket leaking early online.
