Super Bowl LVIII makes history as most-watched American telecast ever

CBS' broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday was the most-watched television event in U.S. history, according to preliminary Nielsen figures — with 123.4 million viewers across CBS, Univision and streaming platforms.

Why it matters: A nail-biter ending in overtime, combined with celebrity sightings and a history-making consecutive win by the Kansas City Chiefs, drove the NFL to make television history at a time when few events are still able to pull large swaths of Americans together.

I didn't even know the game was being played until some comments here a few days after it occurred. That is how much I care for the NFL.

I just found out this morning who won by accident.

I keep seeing "Mr. Beast" commercials on my streaming platforms. He averages about this per video now on YouTube and his stuff is honestly juvenile crapola. So Mr. Beast gets over 100-110 million views per video compared to this one time 120 million.

The stupid, it hurts.

My daughter and her husband had a Stuperbowl party and the only reason we went was because it was her birthday :shrug: I have never been much of a sports fan unless it was my daughter playing fastpitch or now my grandson playing baseball. I just can't get excited about it, but that's just me as for others I say knock yourself out....which is something else I don't understand, people beating the hell out of or killing someone over a team or game **nononono*

Didn't watch the game.  Football has never been my thing.  It was reported who won and find it disgusting that it was also reported that  a 'Black National Anthem' was played.

Ditto. Although I sure am sorry I missed the fabulous halftime show which featured numerous musicians ...excuse....recording artists I've never heard of.  Listening to a clip on the national news after the game made me sad.
I missed my opportunity to record awful music and make millions.
