E! spared no media dollar in promoting its two-night Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event on Sunday and Monday, and it has paid off in ratings gold. The combined shows featuring the marriage of Kim Kardashian and New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries drew 10.5 million viewers, ranking as the network’s most-watched event to date. The two-parter also marked E!’s highest-rated telecasts of 2011 in the major demos, including adults 18-49 and women 18-49. Sunday’s Part 1 gave the network its most-watched day in history, averaging more than 1 million viewers total day, and grew E!’s primetime average in the 8-10 PM hour sevenfold. Monday’s finale drew six times the primetime average when it aired from 9-11 PM. Those kinds of numbers served as a major lead-in to fellow E! series Kendra, Dirty Soap and Chelsea Lately, which also garnered record ratings; Kendra (2.7 million viewers) and Chelsea Lately (1.8 million) saw their most-watched episodes ever.

If it benefited CHELSEA LATELY, great. But I am seriously kind of shocked by this. I was hoping that they were overexposed and people wouldn’t tune in to that extent.
Help! There are locusts everywhere!
Really, America?
Amen, very sad…
Ewwwwww…….
What is her job? She wears seductive clothing, is photographed so she sells her body for money. I think there is a name for that. They’re terrible.
Yes, there is. Whoredashian. Or Kartrashian.
Take your pick.
I was really hoping people were getting sick of them and they’d start to fade away. They are so overexposed, it’s almost sickening.
ew, that Kris Humphries is nasty!
Sickening, no hope for our country.
Where did this number come from? They just make it up? Last night drew less than 4.0 million total viewers. And Sunday drew just under 4.4 million. Fiction can be interesting…
Hilarious!
There are 300,000,000 people in the USA. E Ent & Kim Kar-phies got 10,500,000. This amounts to about .04% of the total population. Meaning 289,500,000 people did not watch.
Ahh success in Hollywood!!
Not shocked but very sad this is what people want to waste their time watching. It means more and more shows on these silly people.
Talk about the truly dumming down of the citizens of this great country…first Jersey Shore and now this drivel…who knows now…maybe the K! Network will put this trash on DVD…pitiful!!!
God will get you for that Mr Ryan Seacrest!
America….this is why we cannot have nice TV shows…
Kim K. husband looks like a total dork
RYAN SEACREAST LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK, SAD DAY FOR AMERICA.
Actually, this “event” did not set any records. E! is manipulating the numbers. It got 4.4 million on Sunday and then decreased to 4.0 on Monday. This is lower than their premier numbers so I don’t know what record they are talking about.
Cannot believe people actually watch this garbage. Pathetic.
I am officially embarrassed to be an American.
E’ is really pushing those numbers the two comments were correct regarding the viewers 4.89 sunday and 3.39 on sunday. No records set here they’ve seen these totals before.
