In late-night metered market ratings (via NBC's press release):

The April 11 edition of "Saturday Night Live at Home," with material produced remotely as "SNL" cast and crew practice social distancing, and featuring host Tom Hanks and musical guest Coldplay's Chris Martin, has averaged a 1.46 rating in "live plus same day" adult 18-49 rating and 6.662 viewers overall, according to "fast official" ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

This is the season's #2 highest-scoring edition of "Saturday Night Live," behind only the Dec. 21, 2019 edition hosted by Eddie Murphy and featuring musical guest Lizzo (2.50 in 18-49, 9.986 million viewers overall).

The last "SNL" telecast besides that Dec. 21 edition to top last night's results was the May 4, 2019 episode, hosted by Adam Sandler with musical guest Shawn Mendes (1.61 rating in 18-49, 6.809 million viewers overall).

Versus "SNL's" prior season averages for originals, excluding the high-rated Eddie Murphy-hosted episode, last night's "In Home" telecast is up +17% in 18-49 (1.46 vs. 1.25) and up +12% in total viewers (6.662 million vs. 5.969 million).

Versus primetime programming on the Big 4 networks last night, "SNL" is easily the #1 show of the night in 18-49 and total viewers, more than doubling all Big 4 primetime shows in 18-49.
