Megan Thee Stallion was not a big draw for “SNL” viewers.
Saturday’s ratings for the second installment of the season remained at a perilously low 3.7 million. The show is off by around 900,000 viewers from its season finale last May.
“SNL” this past week started with promise but fell apart quickly. Some of it was incomprehensible without closed captioning. By the time Weekend Update was over, I checked out at exactly 12:35. There was no reason to continue.
This malaise feels like more than just the transition from the old cast to the new cast. There’s no buzz. And this new strategy of doubling up the host as musical guest isn’t working either. The next episode, with Jack Harlow doing both jobs, doesn’t look promising.
