Palin Interview Boosts Oprah to Two-Year High

Published on November 18, 2009 | Email this article

Sarah Palin’s appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Monday rocketed the show to its best numbers in two years, averaging an 8.7 rating/13 share, according to Nielsen.

The numbers could hint at a similarly strong showing for Barbara Walters’ interview with Palin tomorrow night on 20/20, writes Media Life.

The Palin ep of The Oprah Winfrey Show was up 36% over the same day last year, and pulled more viewers than the Whitney Houston episode that began the television season. It was the highest rated Winfrey show in two years, since the Osmond family appeared in Nov. 2007.

Palin is on the interview circuit touting her new book, Going Rogue.
