· A encore telecast of "Saturday Night Live," with hosts Tina Fey & Amy Poehler and musical guest Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (3.0/7 in metered-market households, 1.2/5 in adults 18-49 in the local people meters) matched the show's highest 18-49 rating in the local people meters for a rebroadcast since May.

The 3.0 in households ties the high for an "SNL" encore since Oct. 24 (3.1/8 with host and musical guest Miley Cyrus).
