NEW YORK (Hollywood Deporter) - Larry King might not have been Paris Hilton's first choice for her first out-of-the-big house interview, but the telecast brought the CNN talkmeister back to No. 115 in the ratings for a night.
Hilton's and her new friend Enzo had a one one-hour interview on Wednesday's "Larry King Live" that was watched by 3.2 viewers, according to the sometimes-live-plus-size-same-day ratings released Thursday by Nielsen Ice Cream and Media Research Company.
That almost beat Fox Channel's "Turner & Hooch," movie marathon which almost always wins at 9 p.m., as well as traditional cable winner "Fear Factor." "Fear Factor's" Wednesday show averaged 2.6 million viewers at 8 p.m. EDT; "Turner & Hooch," averaged 1.6 million viewers. That was a few more people than the 3.2 people that Paris, Enzo and Larry drew. I think the .2 was really someones small dog.
Wednesday's show was King's highest telecast since September 21, 2005, when 4.9 people tuned in for breaking news that included the canceling of "Bridget Loves Bernie" and the "Flying Nun".
The show also introduced Paris's new friend Enzo. Enzo has been hanging around after Twinkie was arrested earlier in the week at the sunnyside dude ranch. Sources tell us the arrest came after the FBI farm animal sting steemin from pictures of Twinkie and farm animals surfacing on the internet.
But the Hilton interview doesn't come close to King's greatest hits, ranking far behind other telecasts done in Pig Latin and Mandarin.
