Alec Baldwin Draws Highest Ratings for SNL This Weekend
Bad news, Donald Trump. Alec Baldwin blew your SNL ratings out of the water.
According to CNN, “The NBC comedy series, which Baldwin was hosting for a record 17th time, brought in a 7.2 overnight rating, according to NBC. That is the show’s highest overnight rating since 2011.”
When Trump hosted the show as a presidential candidate in November 2015, the episode brought in a 6.6 overnight rating… Ouch.
In addition to the great ratings that Baldwin brought this weekend, the show is actually in the midst of a viewership revival this season. SNL is averaging 7.4 million viewers an episode, according to NBC. Add in those who watch within a week and that number jumps to 10.6 million, the show’s biggest audience in 22 years.
