In Late-Night Metered-Market Ratings for Saturday Night:

· "Saturday Night Live" has matched the show's highest adult 18-49 rating in Nielsen's local people meters since Nov. 12.

· The Feb. 4 telecast, with host Kristen Stewart and musical guest Alessia Cara, and featuring an appearance by Melissa McCarthy as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, scored a 5.0 rating, 13 share in "live plus same day" household results from the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and a 2.5/13 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.

· The 2.5 in 18-49 equals the strongest "Saturday Night Live" local-market rating since the Nov. 12 telecast, which was the first "SNL" to follow the Presidential election.

· The 5.0 in metered-market households makes this the second highest rated "SNL" by that measure since Nov. 12, trailing over that span only the Jan. 21 edition hosted by Aziz Ansari with musical guest Big Sean (5.1). That Jan. 21 episode is also the only other "SNL" since Nov. 12 to generate a 2.5 in 18-49 in the local people meters.

4. SNL is boring and unfunny. Alec Baldwin stinks! Ratings are fake. Sad!

3. I stayed up to watch it and I haven't done so in years.

Trump and his sycophants are comedy gold. Baldwin is hilarious, but OMG, Melissa McCarthy was amazing. Just amazing.

I will definitely be planning nap time on Saturdays just so I can stay up and catch SNL.

5. Keenan Thompson as the Zimbabwe dictator had me rolling!

[Ilsa]

6. Wasn't that the best? Did you see MMcCarthy as Sean Spicer?

OMG that was a long, funny skit. Made fun of "ban", how happy everyone was at the prime time nomination show ( they were so happy, all the men had erections and all of the women were ovulating), they got Spicer good!

15. One CAN download it from YouTube for posterity

and/or watch it ..and all of the comedy gold...on Youtube the day after.
That's how my lack of tv doesn't mean I have to miss Colbert, Samantha Bee, etc.

And yes, SNL was given a huge gift on election day.

16. This old lady has watched on youtube the next day...but it's so much fun now

I want to stay up to watch it and laugh before I go to sleep.

17. I get that....

Problem is, as I get older, I get tired earlier and earlier.

7:10 our time and I spot Mr. Dixie yawning as he eats dinner and watches a movie on his laptop.

Spring and longer days may help...

8. Multiple skits making fun of trump.

Also made fun of the ban, Spicer's news conferences, etc.
