CBS Boss Les Moonves on 'Two and a Half Men' Huge Premiere
"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with CBS President Les Moonves in New York, where he asked Moonves how he felt about the premiere of "Two and a Half Men" with Ashton Kutcher -- and whether he watched Charlie Sheen's roast.
"We're very pleased with the number," said Moonves of the ratings. "You don't declare victory after one week, but the number was pretty high. In New York City alone, it beat the Giants!"
Here are the recaps of "Two and a Half Men" and Charlie Sheen's Roast!
"Men" more than doubled its demo ratings from a year ago with 28 million viewers, scoring a 10.3 rating with adults 18-49, and an overall rating of 5.7. That's more for Les.
Calloway asked if Moonves had a chance to see Sheen's roast on Comedy Central. "I did not watch it, but I look forward to seeing it. I heard it's very funny."
