This is quite surprising: “Saturday Night Live” was DOWN this week, to 4.1 million viewers.
Huh? Show vet Molly Shannon made her first appearance in 16 years. The Jonas Brothers were the musical guests. The cold open with James Austin Johnson as Trump fronting the Last Supper was superb.
So that’s a head scratcher. The previous brought about 100,000 more viewers, and that itself was a little of the year’s average. I thought for sure I’d be reporting an increase to 4.4 million, or something like that.
This week’s host is Ana de Armas with musical guest Karol G. Will that do better? Can anything at this point? Frustrating!
