This weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” which featured host Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Harry Styles, delivered the show’s best ratings since February — and its second best numbers since the post-election episode in November.<\/p>\n

Citing fast official numbers, NBC says the episode drew a 2.27 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 7.88 million overall viewers.<\/p>\n

Up considerably from the April 2016 average, the numbers are the show’s best since the Alec Baldwin-Ed Sheeran broadcast drew a 3.10 rating and 10.84 million viewers on February 11.<\/p>\n

To find another episode that did better, one would have to go back to the post-election episode on November 12. Featuring Dave Chappelle and A Tribe Called Quest, that broadcast drew a 3.15 adults 18-49 rating and 8.69 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, comparisons to past episodes are somewhat shaky given that this week’s “Saturday Night Live” aired live on both coasts. The show has historically aired on tape-delay on the west.<\/p>\n

Still, NBC is clearly pleased by the show’s performance. In addition to the previous distinctions, NBC touts that the episode was up 42% in adults 18-49 and overall viewership from the April 2016 average.<\/p>\n

It also tops last season’s final 11 episodes in adults 18-49 and final 12 episodes in overall viewership.<\/p>\n

It was Saturday night’s #1 overall telecast in both columns, and it ranks as this week’s #3 network program in adults 18-49 (below only “The Big Bang Theory” and “Empire”).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NBC celebrates the numbers for this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live.” Jimmy Fallon hosted and Harry Styles
