"Hollywood Game Night" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 4.4 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) ranks as the #2 show or tied for the #2 show of the night in adults 18-49, men 18-49, adults 25-54, men 25-54 and adults, men and women 18-34, behind only "Talent."

Facing competition this week from ABC's "CMA Music Festival" (which improved the time period for ABC in adults 18-49 by +86% vs. last week's "Extreme Weight Loss," 1.3 vs. 0.7), "Hollywood Game Night" ranked #1 or tied for #1 in the hour among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults, men and women 18-34, men 18-49 and men 25-54.
