Nine’s Weakest Link hosted by Magda Szubanski watched by only 423,000 viewers

The return of divisive media personality Magda Szubanski to the TV screens as host of Channel 9’s Weakest Link saw it just scrape into the top 20 viewed programs on Tuesday night.

The debut of the rebooted quiz show drew 423,000 viewers across the five major capital cities in the 9pm timeslot and was half that of Nine’s Lego Masters 2021 debut last month, which aired at 7.30pm and attracted 838,000 viewers.

The new season of the Celebrity Apprentice which screened before the Weakest Link drew 646,000 viewers before numbers dropped by more than 200,000 for Nine in the 9pm timeslot.

The Weakest Link’s TV schedule was derailed earlier this month after Szubanski lashed out at the Prime Minister’s wife, Jenny Morrison, causing a public-relations nightmare for Nine.
