Saturday’s telecast hosted by the comedians drew 5.1M viewers, marking the most-watched episode this season, according to live + same-day Nielsen data. Brandi Carlile was the musical guest.

Even Amy Schumer couldn’t lift the sketch comedy show out of its ratings slump, managing a 0.79 demo rating and 4.3 million viewers when she hosted on Nov. 5. The week prior, Jack Harlow’s double duty as host and musical guest drew a 0.76 in the demo and just 4.1 million total viewers.
After seven days of delayed viewing per episode, Season 48 is averaging a 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The final episode of the year will air on December 17 with host Austin Butler and musical guest Lizzo.
The December 10 episode surprised audiences with a 2022 reboot of the 1991 film The Father of the Bride, reuniting Kieran Culkin with Short and Martin. In another sketch, the pair reimagined an R-rated version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with Short as Ebenezer Scrooge.
In addition to the broadcast on NBC, SNL streams live on Peacock at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT.
