Let's wrap the show with a fun fact.
The college football playoff championship game between Indiana and Miami drew 30.1 million viewers, making it the most watched college football championship game since 2015.
That is a 36% jump from last year's matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame.
And to put this into perspective, this was the most watched US sports telecast outside of the NFL since game seven of the 2016 World Series.
So this was a very big game.
Indiana University ended up winning the title, making it one of the greatest sports stories of all time.
But they weren't the only winners here.
Disney was also taking a victory lap because they broadcast the game on ESPN and ABC.
By the way, it's been a big week for Disney and ESPN because they also aired the Texans Patriots NFL playoff game, which averaged 38 million viewers across ESPN and ABC.
In fact, it was the single largest audience in ESPN's history and Disney's most watched sports event outside of the Super Bowl.
Big picture takeaway here is that live sports just continue to be the only thing keeping cable TV alive.
Like I only subscribe to YouTube TV to watch sports.
