EXCLUSIVE: Live with Kelly and Mark had a festive Fourth of July, coming in as the top daytime talk show of the week.

The show averaged 2.1M viewers that week, anchored by women 25-54, receiving a 0.54 rating with that demographic, according to live+same-day Nielsen data. It didn’t do too shabby with women 18-49 either, managing a 0.24 rating.

It was also the third consecutive week that Live with Kelly and Mark posted growth, up 2% from the week prior.
