ABC’s season finale of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was Thursday’s highest-rated and most-watched show in primetime, drawing a 0.9 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 6.56 million viewers. It led the network’s game-show block that gave ABC the overall victory for the night in both metrics.

Millionaire, which was even in the demo and grew in viewers compared with last week, was followed by Holey Moley (0.7, 3.94M) and To Tell the Truth (0.6, 3.57M), which were both off a tenth but again won their respective time slots.
