ABC has had a long history of airing traditional game shows where regular citizens get a chance to win a lot of money. However, the network’s schedule hasn’t had many of those lately. Will this new one stick around? Will The Greatest Average American be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A game show, The Greatest Average American TV series is hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze. The program celebrates the power of being “perfectly average.” In each episode, three contestants compete in fun challenges and trivia contests. The players try to guess how everyday Americans think and live. In the end, one lucky player will be crowned the Greatest Average American and get the chance to win the ultimate grand prize: $67,920 — aka, the average American yearly salary.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
