Gaga-Hosted SNL Draws Shows Highest Household Rating Since March

The Nov. 16 telecast of "Saturday Night Live," with host and musical guest Lady Gaga, generated the highest "SNL" household rating since March 9 and the show's top figures in 18-49 and total viewers since Oct. 5.

Last week's episode earned a 2.4 rating, 10 share in adults 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall and a 4.3 rating in households. Those results were #1 for the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, besting every Saturday Primetime program on the Big 4 networks in all three categories.

It was the highest "SNL" rating in households since March 9 (with a 5.2 for an edition hosted by Justin Timberlake, who was also musical guest). The Nov. 16 averages in 18-49 and total viewers are the show's highest since Oct. 5 (with host and musical guest Miley Cyrus, 2.7/12 in 18-49, 6.7 million viewers overall).
