The campaign is over, but Barack Obama is still a TV hit.

CBS's 60 Minutes had its highest overnight ratings in nearly a decade with Sunday's episode featuring Steve Kroft interviewing the president-elect and future first lady Michelle Obama.

The show was seen by 24.5 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research's preliminary estimate. That's more than any other episode of a prime-time show seen this season, and the biggest audience for 60 Minutes since January 1999.

Sunday's 60 Minutes was likely helped by being immediately preceded by a down-to-the-wire NFL game between Pittsburgh and San Diego.
