‘Saturday Night Live’ Ratings Slip With Host James McAvoy

Saturday Night Live last night, with host James McAvoy, musical guest Meek Mill and appearance by Steve Martin as Roger Stone, averaged a 4.1 Live+same day household rating in the metered markets and a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating in the markets with local people meters. That was off from last week’s show hosted by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan with musical guest Greta Van Fleet (4.5, 1.8) and a tad above SNL‘s season low mark in households.

Saturday Night Live was the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in metered-market households, topping all primetime shows on those nets in both categories, including, ABC’s primetime Warriors-Celtics NBA Basketball coverage. In 18-49, SNL finished second to basketball.
