SNL Reports Highest Ratings Since November
Source: Broadway World
In Late-Night Metered-Market Ratings for Saturday Night:
· "Saturday Night Live" has matched the show's highest adult 18-49 rating in Nielsen's local people meters since Nov. 12.
· The Feb. 4 telecast, with host Kristen Stewart and musical guest Alessia Cara, and featuring an appearance by Melissa McCarthy as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, scored a 5.0 rating, 13 share in "live plus same day" household results from the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and a 2.5/13 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
· The 2.5 in 18-49 equals the strongest "Saturday Night Live" local-market rating since the Nov. 12 telecast, which was the first "SNL" to follow the Presidential election.
· The 5.0 in metered-market households makes this the second highest rated "SNL" by that measure since Nov. 12, trailing over that span only the Jan. 21 edition hosted by Aziz Ansari with musical guest Big Sean (5.1). That Jan. 21 episode is also the only other "SNL" since Nov. 12 to generate a 2.5 in 18-49 in the local people meters.

I know what happened. The software strips out symbols in the original post, including the equal sign. In replies, the symbols are not stripped, which is why when I posted the link, the video itself appears.
I tired to link to a section of an article at Wikipedia, and the pound sign got stripped.
And the monologue is gone, due no doubt to the naughty word.

(34,136 posts)That creates a shorter link without odd characters. That also shows up if you like the video, by the way.

(17,306 posts)It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time. The cold opens with Alec Baldwin had been spectacular for months, but much of the rest of the show was mediocre most weeks. Last night's show was fantastic from start to finish.
And the ratings should be an additional irritant for Don the Con, who gets ticked off at SNL each week as it is.

(2,297 posts)Other than the Baldwin open, the only good part has been Weekend Update, even McKinnon has been bad. This Saturday, Weekend Update was typically good, but turned out to be the weakest part of that particular show. I wonder what happened, it was a great show from start to finish.
