“Saturday Night Live” Ratings Booming Under New Formula, Scored Big with Oscar Winner Emma Stone, Singer Noah Kahan

Share

“SNL” is booming in the ratings under the show’s new formula.

Instead of giving the numbers from just NBC on Tuesday, “SNL” is waiting a week to include delayed viewing, Peacock, and videos on You Tube.

With that in mind, the December 2nd episode with Emma Stone and Noah Kahan was seen by 6.4 million viewers. The linear number is probably around 4.5 million, but that’s speculation.

Tonight “SNL” finishes the fall season with the mighty Kate McKinnon hosting and Billie Eilish as musical guest. The numbers for this one should be huge.

“SNL” is currently ranking as NBC’s top-rated entertainment series in the 18-49 demo and 6% above last season. That’s great news, but asterisk, that’s because the strikes kept “Chicago” PD Fire and whatever off the air.
