Nicole Richie didn’t just get a briefer jail term than Paris Hilton, she got bigger ratings, too.
Friday’s 20/20, featuring a Diane Sawyer grilling of the cell-bound Simple Life star, averaged 5.9 million people who just couldn’t help themselves, per Nielsen Media Research stats.
Back in June, Hilton’s postjail sitdown on Larry King Live averaged 3.2 million.
In truth, though, there is no comparing the Richie and Hilton numbers. The Richie interview aired on free TV (ABC); the Hilton one on basic cable (CNN).
