The latest news show to benefit from Donald Trump is Meet the Press. Capping off a stretch of several strong weeks for the NBC show, Chuck Todd's interviews with the Republican presidential candidate (his only appearance on the Sunday shows) and Sen. Bernie Sanders drove ratings to its biggest audience since February 2014. That easily makes it the most-watched since Todd took over from David Gregory last August.
Meet the Press averaged 3.612 million viewers on Sunday, averaging 739,000 more than ABC's This Week and 775,000 more than Face the Nation. Compared to last year when the struggling Meet the Press was changing hands, the episode's audience is up by 36 percent.

It seems that everywhere Donald Trump goes, people show up to see and hear him.
The Trump factor.
I tuned in !! Upchuck Todd was over whelmed and in awe, Trump had his way with this mental midget. This is so much fun !!
This is good
Not only does Fox get punished but Trump gets
audiences that don’t watch Fox
Yep. Fox News Sunday only had 1.17M viewers and finished dead last.
If I remember correctly, in the interview, Trump said he would get good ratings for his show.
Fox News is not your friend.
Actually, Greta and Hannity are still good in small doses. The rest of Fox has not only jumped the shark, but they backed up and jumped it again. Then Meghan McCain swallowed it whole.
It’s hard to watch Fox News commit suicide but that is exactly what they’re doing.
I saw it and could barely stand Chuck Todd. IMHO the bump came from Donald Trump and not (spit, spit spit) Chuck Todd.
