Donald Trump gives SNL its biggest ratings in years

2015-11-09

[EW] Trump is still bringing the bump.
Instead of just being a lump...

With Donald Trump hosting, Saturday Night Live jumped to its biggest overnight rating since 2012.
... giving the ratings a jump....
According to NBC, SNL had a whopping 6.6 household rating on Saturday night, easily beating the season’s previous high: the 41st season premiere last month, hosted by Miley Cyrus and with a guest appearance by none other than … Hillary Clinton. In fact, Trump’s overnight rating was 47 percent higher than the Miley/Hillary episode.
He did it without twerking, brought them out of their slump...
The previous high was held by an episode that aired Jan. 7, 2012, hosted by Charles Barkley with musical guest Kelly Clarkson.
His grammar was perfect. He brought class to the dump...
Saturday night marked the Republican presidential hopeful’s second time hosting the iconic late-night series. He previously acted as host in 2004 when Trump was still the host of NBC’s The Apprentice.
He was gonna send an assistant, but he fired the chump...
Trump was pretty confident he’d boost SNL’s numbers. “I get the best ratings,” he reportedly said when asked about the appearance.

#5 Way back in the good old days of the show there were a few good sketches now and then, mixed in with an awful lot of the tedium that comes from failed humor. A good show was maybe 1 good part in 10. Haven't seen it since before Belushi died. I gather it didn't get better.

#4 I haven't watched in 20 years. It'll be another 20 years before I watch again. My stepdaughter laughed at the Drank parody but that one went over my head so maybe its a generational thing because I found the whole thing tedious and unfunny.

#3 He did it without twerking

Please! My eyes!

P.S. What would have happened if Hillary had tried twerking too?
