In Late-Night Metered-Market Household Averages for Saturday night:


* “Saturday Night Live” (5.2/12 in metered-market households) with host Daniel Radcliffe and musical guest Lana Del Rey, dominated its time period with the highest non-sports rating of the night in metered-market households, ahead of all Saturday primetime entertainment telecasts on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox (excludes Fox’s 8-8:30 half-hour, which was impacted by an NFL overrun).  Versus the same night last year, “SNL” is up 2 percent in metered-market households (5.2 vs. 5.1). 

* In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 3.0 rating, 12 share in adults 18-49 to rank #1 among the night’s entertainment telecasts ahead of all Saturday primetime non-sports programs on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox (excludes Fox’s 8-8:30 half-hour, which was impacted by an NFL overrun).  “SNL” matched its second-highest 18-49 rating in the Local People Meters so far this season, behind only last week’s 4.3/18 for an edition hosted by Charles Barkley with musical guest Kelly Clarkson that followed an NFL Wild Card playoff game.
