On this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Keke Palmer– star of “Nope” — hosted and revealed she’s pregnant.
But the home audience didn’t know that would happen and a lot of them weren’t watching. Ratings fell to 3,.994 million, around 800,000 fewer than the last episode with David Chappelle spouting stupiid anti-semitic comments.
The music guest was SZA, who’s always good but didn’t sizzle with the audience.
Still, there was plenty of good stuff starting with the cold open featuring Kenan Thompson as a clueless Herschel Walker.
This Saturday, the numbers should jump pretty high as the hosts are Steve Martin and Martin Short. The musical guest is Brandi Carlile, and I’m sure Selena Gomez — who co-stars with the Martins in “Only Murders in the Building” — makes an appearance. They should do a parody of the show set in the “SNL” studios.
Live and learn.
