TABS! Lady Gaga's star power remains immense. Her 'One World' special, an effort to raise morale and money to fight COVID, was a success. 270 million people worldwide tuned in, according to Deadline. Showbiz411 thinks it did just alright. "On ABC the two hour average was 5 million, just as it was on NBC. On CBS it was a little lower, just above 4 million. A huge hit? For network TV, if it were all on one channel, yes. Spread out among the three, not so much." They also say the demos were low numbers for young people, very high for over 50. Funny.
