· Versus primetime programming on the Big 4 networks Saturday night, the "SNL" rebroadcast is the #1 show of the night in metered-market households and in 18-49 in the local people meters.

· It's the #2 highest-rated "Saturday Night Live" encore in metered-market households among the eight aired in this timeslot since Nielsen revised its metered-market methodology on Oct. 5, 2019, trailing over that span only the Jan. 11 rebroadcast (3.1 in metered-market households with host and musical guest Harry Styles).

· Note that current metered-market results are not compatible with data issued before Oct. 5 due to changes in Nielsen methodology.
