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

· In metered-market households, it's the #3 "SNL" encore since last March, trailing over that span only the Jan. 3 post-NFL rebroadcast (3.6/10 with host Woody Harrelson and musical guest Kendrick Lamar) and the Jan. 10 encore (3.3/8 with host Jim Carrey and musical guest Iggy Azalea)..
