Hannity had both the best hour and best day on Cable News Twitter, Friday, pushing the usual winner, The Kelly File, way down the ranks, probably because its star was not on the show last night. Following Hannity were The Five, All In w/ Chris Hayes, The Ed Show, and Morning Joe:

The Kelly File won both best hour and best day on Thursday, leaving all other shows in the dust. Ronan Farrow Daily, whose cancellation was announced yesterday, managed to come in 6th for the day as a whole, and The Reid Report, whose cancellation was also announced, came in 10th. To be fair, both those cancellations became known towards the end of the day, so perhaps they will do better on Friday.
In terms of best hour, Kelly was followed by Hannity, On The Record w/Greta Van Susteren, The Five, and Morning Joe:
