“SNL” Ratings Huge Comeback: Up 900K Viewers with Nate Bergatze, Foo Fighters, Christopher Walken

“Saturday Night Live” is back — and in English!

This weekend’s show with Nate Bergatze and Foo Fighters was up 900,000 viewers from last week’s Spanish effort with Bad Bunny.

The show scored 4.9 million total viewers, up 200,000 from the season opener and the best since last December with Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Adding to this weekend’s show was Christopher Walken, a friend of the Foo Fighters and SNL. I almost cried when I saw him: an actual star!

Foo Fighters were terrific, the real thing, and set the show back to normal.

(Next time, Bad Bunny should sing a little English mixed in with the Spanish.)

Coming up next on November 11th: Timothee Chalamet (despite the SAG strike) and boygenius.
