Thats down 15 percent in the demo and 18 percent in viewers from last year.

One difference is that last years program aired on NBC in January.

NBC had the ability to cross-promote Miss Universe and TrumpsCelebrity Apprentice.

Trumpweighed inon the flub on Twitter, saying Very sad what happened last night at the Miss Universe Pageant.
