The biggest ratings news of the night was on NBC. The peacock network's schedule continues to struggle. Chuck was preempted but, luckily for fans, Matt Lauer Reports: George W. Bush didn't fare better than the action comedy.
After a one week break, The Event suffered another big ratings drop. The serial drama lost 15% of its demo audience when compared to the last episode that aired on October 25th. Since the series was given a full season, hopefully producers will give loyal viewers some closure by the end of the season.
At 10pm, Chase also fell, but not as significantly as The Event. However, Chase has already fallen so low that you have to wonder how much lower it could go. On Monday, the series attracted less than half of the demo audience of its closest timeslot competitor (ABC's Castle).

Kanye West's infamous "George Bush doesn't care about black people" rant disgusted the very same person he referred to. Former president George W. Bush said it was one of his "most disgusting" moments in his term as the country's leader.
In an interview with Matt Lauer, Bush said he didn't appreciate the hip-hop superstar calling him a racist during a segment for the Hurricane Katrina relief benefit concert in 2005.
He told the host on his "Matt Lauer Reports" special on NBC, via EW.com, "He called me a racist. And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business. It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.'' I resent it, it's not true."
Lauer also quoted lines from Bush's new book "Decision Points," which read: "Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.

Former United States President George W. Bush tells Matt Lauer in a new interview that racism accusations like Kanye West's comment "George Bush doesn't care about black people" following Hurricane Katrina brought about the worst moment of his presidency, according to the "Today" show's web site. West made the comment during a live telethon to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. In the "Matt Lauer Reports" interview, which will appear on Monday, November 8 on NBC, Bush says, "That [means], 'He's a racist,'' And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. ... I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency." Lauer replies, "You’re not saying that the worst moment in your presidency was watching the misery in Louisiana. You're saying it was when someone insulted you because of that.

Next week, NBC will air a special "Matt Lauer Reports," with the "Today" host conducting the first one-on-one TV interview George W. Bush has given since his presidency ended.
And while the former president does talk about some weighty issues -- including the 9/11 attacks, his decision to declare war on Iraq, Donald Rumsfeld's resignation and his 1976 DUI -- some of his strongest words are saved for Kanye West, who on a national telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
"I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now," Bush tells Lauer. "It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency."
Bush also expresses these sentiments in his upcoming book,...
