Featuring host John Mulaney and musical guest The Strokes, this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” gave back some, but not all, of last week’s overnight ratings gains.<\/p>\n
Citing metered market data, NBC says that the episode drew a 4.7 overnight household rating. It posted a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating in the Top 25 markets.<\/p>\n
Last week’s episode, which featured Adele as host and H.E.R. as musical guest, drew a 5.0 in households and a 2.4 in the demo.<\/p>\n
It is, of course, worth noting that this week’s episode aired on Halloween night. That means considerably less during an era of social distancing, but it presumably could have been a slight factor.<\/p>\n
Plus, although it was down from last week’s broadcast, this weekend’s “SNL” did top the prior week’s installment with Issa Rae and Justin Bieber. That airing posted a 4.5 household rating and a 2.0 demo rating.<\/p>\n
This week’s performance, moreover, exactly matches the overnight showing for the October 10 episode with Bill Burr and Jack White.<\/p>\n
This weekend’s “SNL” was the final Saturday broadcast before the 2020 US Presidential Election. Next weekend’s post-election show will welcome Dave Chappelle as host. Chappelle also hosted the post-election “SNL” in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The episode did, however, top the prior week’s Issa Rae-Justin Bieber broadcast.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":144346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[2961,210,666,180,6517],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
