“Saturday Night Live” (7.4/18 in metered-market households from 11:45 p.m.-1:15 a.m.) with host Charles Barkley and musical guest Kelly Clarkson, dominated its time period with the highest “SNL” average in local-market households in the past 52 weeks, since the January 8, 2011 edition hosted by Jim Carrey with musical guest The Black Keys (7.8/18). 


Note that “Saturday Night Live” was delayed by the overrun of the Lions-Saints NFL Wild Card Playoff Game.

In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 4.3 rating, 18 share in adults 18-49, its highest 18-49 rating in the Local People Meters since the “SNL” season finale on May 21, 2011 (with host Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady Gaga, 4.5/18).

The January 7 edition of “Saturday Night Live” has scored the show’s highest overnight household ratings of the past 52 weeks and the top “SNL” young-adult rating in the Local People Meters since its 2010-11 season finale in May, according to “live plus same day” viewing figures from the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and the 25 markets with Local People Meters.

Last night’s telecast, hosted by Charles Barkley and featuring musical guest Kelly Clarkson, dominated its 11:52 p.m.-1:22 a.m. ET slot with a 7.4 rating, 18 share in metered-market households as measured from 11:45 p.m.-1:15 a.m. It’s the highest “SNL” average in local-market households since the January 8, 2011 edition hosted by Jim Carrey with musical guest The Black Keys (7.8/18).
