Palin delivers for SNL
Yesterday I noted that Palin was going to be on SNL last night, and predicted "SNL will get the best ratings they've gotten this decade."
Last night, as I saw what a poor job SNL was doing promoting her appearance (Comcast's Guide entry for the show didn't even mention her), I was feeling a bit worried over the quality of my prediction.
It turns out I didn't need to worry.Sarah Palin sets 'SNL' ratings record
Sarah Palin's visit to "Saturday Night Live" drew the show's highest overnight rating in 14 years.
Last night's telecast, hosted by Josh Brolin and featuring musical guest Adele, averaged a 10.7 rating and 24 share in 56 metered markets, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's the highest overnight 'SNL' average since a 1994 episode that was hosted by Nancy Kerrigan and featured musical guest Aretha Franklin.
Now I'm just disapointed I wussed on numbers. IIRC, SNL got a 6 rating last weekend (and was very happy with it). I wanted to predict they'd get a 9 last night, but chickened out. :-)
