According to a report from Deadline, the night that Celebrity Drag Race debuted, VH1 scored the highest-rated Friday night in over a decade. Yeah, you read that right:10 years! For those who are interested in the numbers, the Drag Race episode earned a 0.64 in the 18-49 demographic. This was the second-highest-rated episode of the season, likely coming behind the debut.
