If you thought Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was the cultural event of the century, think again. The debut of The Charlie Kirk Show on ABC has left even the most hardened media analysts in disbelief, as its first episode — hosted by Erika Kirk and Megyn Kelly — smashed through one billion views in less than a week.
According to ABC’s press release, “This is the single most-watched event in human history, beating the moon landing, the Super Bowl, and that one time Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.”
The premiere episode struck an unusual balance: part heartfelt memorial, part political rally, and part daytime talk show. Erika Kirk opened the program by telling viewers: “Charlie dreamed of this moment — though I’m not sure he dreamed it would be hosted by me and Megyn Kelly while Kid Rock played guitar in the background.”
Megyn Kelly then jumped in with her trademark fire: “The hens of The View are officially extinct. Welcome to television’s new golden age.”
The show featured interviews with Donald Trump (who called the episode “bigger than Titanic and Home Alone 2 combined”), Tucker Carlson (reading scripture while glaring), and Elon Musk, who promised a future Tesla update where drivers could “only listen to Charlie Kirk podcasts until freedom is restored.”
ABC announced viewership numbers so staggering that statisticians at Nielsen reportedly fainted.
