contents We consider the proportion of zero entries in the character table of a sequence of reductive groups over a finite field. We prove an asymptotic lower bound when the reductive group is fixed and the size of the finite field increases. Furthermore, we prove that when considering a sequence of reductive groups with increasing semisimple rank, the proportion is asymptotically one. We also establish an additive analogue of this phenomenon in the context of a fixed reductive Lie algebra.
