Airing on the heels of Tuesday’s US election and featuring a strong lineup, this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” unsurprisingly drew big numbers.<\/p>\n

Citing official live+same-day data, NBC says the episode drew a 2.62 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 9.06 million viewers.<\/p>\n

The demo rating ranks as the best for a “Saturday Night Live” broadcast since the Melissa McCarthy-HAIM installment on May 13, 2017 (2.74). The viewership sum was the show’s best since the Eddie Murphy-Lizzo installment garnered 9.98 million on December 21, 2019.<\/p>\n

Dave Chappelle hosted this weekend’s episode, while Foo Fighters took the stage as musical guests. Chappelle also hosted the post-2016 election episode, which drew a stronger adults 18-49 rating (3.15) but a lesser viewership figure (8.69 million).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The post-election “Saturday Night Live” drew big numbers.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":144642,"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":[7791,3077,210,666],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "Saturday Night Live" With Dave Chappelle & Foo Fighters Draws Best Viewership Number Since Eddie Murphy & Lizzo Episode<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Airing on the heels of Tuesday's US election and featuring a strong lineup, this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" unsurprisingly drew big numbers.
