How many million viewers will watch tonight's debate on television?

For comparison:
About 80 million watched the first Reagan-Carter debate in 1980, the debate ratings record.
The first 2012 Obama-Romney Debate drew about 67 million.

The top-rated show this calendar year, Super Bowl 50, drew 111.9 million.

100 million+ seems out of reach. Maybe if the debate was on Thursday it could've made it, but Monday night is harder to promote.

I'll say 82 million, enough to make it the highest-rated debate ever.  The 100 million number hyped by the media is way too high.
