The absolutely bizarre but brave mostly Spanish episode of “SNL” this weekend was a bust in the ratings.
The show fell by 800,000 viewers to 4 million from its season debut.
“SNL” lost its momentum by giving host and musical guest duties to Bad Bunny. His new album is all Spanish, so we figured his performances would reflect that. But almost the whole was in Spanish, which made people tune out in droves.
Even cameos from Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger, Lady Gaga et al didn’t help.
This week it’s back to normal with the Foo Fighters and newish comic Nate Bergatze. The latter isn;t well known, but at least the show will be in English!
