"Saturday Night Live," with host Louis C.K. and musical guest Rihanna (3.8 rating, 10 share in household results in Nielsen’s 56 metered markets, 1.8/9 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters) matched the show’s highest household rating in the metered markets since March 7 (4.0/10 with host Chris Hemsworth and musical guest Zac Brown Band), equaling over that span the April 11 edition (3.8/10 with host Taraji P. Henson and musical guest Mumford & Sons).

· This week’s “SNL” is the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49 in the Local People Meters, ahead of all primetime programs on those nets in that key measure. “SNL”s 1.8 tripled the highest 18-49 rating among primetime Big 4 programs in those markets last night (0.6 by four different telecasts).

· Note that “SNL” adds significant viewership via time-shifting, with originals this season growing by an average of +43% going from “live plus same day ratings” to “live plus seven day” in national adult 18-49 rating (from a 1.91 rating to a 2.74).

R8 is saved!

don't give in to pettiness, SNL ratings are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things especially since the show has been flopping hard for the past couple of years

ratings were low but R8 will still be a success, everyone just calm tf down

Ok I'm confused now did it do bad or nah? There is another thread saying the ratings were bad.

hmm interesting

where are the haters now

the ratings are pretty much the same every week but some people are trying too hard...

lol thats cuz networks don't even try on saturdays

it won the night....and tripled the highest 18-49 rating among primetime Big 4 programs.... the op posted only the first paragraph of the article ( I wonder why?)

We have a thread for TV ratings discussion.
