Chuck was pre-empted last night to allow NBC to air a special Matt Lauer interview with former President George W. Bush. The fast overnights are in and…well, maybe they should have included a JEFFSTER! performance: the special drew about 7 million viewers (more than Chuck‘s audience), but a woeful 1.7 in that advertiser-important 18-49 demo.
