This weekend’s “SNL” was only off a little bit from the previous outing, with big numbers.
Ryan Gosling, Chris Stapleton, and special guest Kate McKinnon helped bring the show 4.7 million viewers. Stapleton’s record sales went way up, too, so we know the show was seen by more people than usual.
Lorne Michaels has really hit the gas, pumping up the recent shows with guest stars and cameos. It’s working, and a real antidote to the doldrums of the winter. The Ramy Youssef episode was a low point.
Next up is super singer Dua Lipa, who will be guest host and musical guest. But I suspect Michaels will punch in some more guest stars to add to the proceedings.
