· Is the #1 primetime show of the night on the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49, adults 25-54, total viewers and every other key measure (including a tie with "SNL Vintage" in men 25-54).

· Hits a season high in 18-49 and delivers its biggest total-viewer result since the show's season premiere on Oct. 24 (5.1 million).

· Grows versus its prior telecast by +29% in 18-49 (0.9 vs. 0.7 on Nov. 28) and +12% in total viewers (4.903 million vs. 4.380 million).

· Grows from its first half-hour to its fourth by +57% in adults 18-49 (from a 0.7 rating to a 1.1), +50% in adults 25-54 (1.0 to 1.5) and +41% or more than 1.6 million persons in total viewers (4.1 million to 5.7 million).

· A rebroadcast of "Saturday Night Live," with host Ryan Gosling and musical guest Leon Bridges (2.9/7 in metered-market households, 1.2/5 in adults 18-49 in the local people meters) equaled the show's best 18-49 rating in the local people meters for an encore since May.

· In the 25 markets with local people meters, the 1.2 for last night's "Saturday Night Live" matched the show's highest rating for a rebroadcast since May 30 (1.3/6 with host Cameron Diaz and musical guests Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars).

· The "SNL" encore is the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49 in the local people meters, topping every primetime show on those networks in that key measure.

· Note that "SNL" adds significant viewership via time-shifting, growing by +49% this season going from "live plus same day" to "live plus seven day" ratings in national adult 18-49 results (from a 1.83 rating to a 2.73), and by +2.2 million viewers overall (6.2 million to 8.4 million).
