'Nick and Jessica' Boost ABC's Fortunes Sunday

By Cynthia Littleton

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Married pop stars Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson (news) came through for ABC on Sunday, leading the network to a rare nightly victory in the adults 18-49 demographic with their 9 p.m. "Nick and Jessica Variety Hour" special.


The hourlong "Nick and Jessica," an experiment with a throwback to the Sonny & Cher era of hip musical comedy-variety, easily won its hour with an average of 11.4 million viewers and 4.7 rating/11 share in adults 18-49 demo, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.

ABC was also hot at 8 p.m. with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (11.7 million viewers, 4.5/12).

Despite a few rough edges, I thought it was fantastic! As both performers and the show mature, I think this will be an exciting and entertaining show.
