  • Friday’s “20/20” delivered the second highest-ratings of the season in both the A25-54 (2.4/7) and A18-49 (1.8/6) demographics. The show featured David Muir’s report on a worldwide manhunt by two different fathers searching for their sons.

  • During his appearance on “Meet the Press” yesterday, California Governor Jerry Brown cited a (way) past appearance on the NBC show to answer David Gregory’s question about how he’s changed over his career in politics. “Well, I was just reviewing my transcript from ‘Meet the Press’ in 1975, and I find a lot of similarities,” he said. ” There I was talking about limits, I’m still talking about limits.  But I’m also talking about full employment and equality … So I’m older and wiser.”
