More of an indication that the people want an outsider instead of the usual liberal liar in office.

Donald Trump gives SNL its biggest ratings in years

Trump is still bringing the bump.


With Donald Trump hosting, Saturday Night Live jumped to its biggest overnight rating since 2012.

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.

The previous high was held by an episode that aired Jan. 7, 2012, hosted by Charles Barkley with musical guest Kelly Clarkson.

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.

Trump was pretty confident he’d boost SNL’s numbers. “I get the best ratings,” he reportedly said when asked about the appearance.

The actual number of SNL viewers will be available later in the week. But for point of comparison, the season premiere delivered 6.3 million viewers, so Trump’s episode could be close to 10 million.

Trump, who continues to lead the GOP primary polls, previously fueled an August debate on Fox News Channel to a record 24 million viewers. A September debate on CNN drew an also impressive 23 million viewers.

For more, here’s EW’s recap of Trump’s appearance on SNL, including video clips of Trump’s sketches.

I taped it but I've read it was fairly boring. I'm not a SNL fan anyway though.Trump does command an audience.

24,000 on CNN and FOX debates. Never before have so many tuned into those networks. I feel a landslide in the making.

It seems the more the left attacks the more money flows into the republican coffers.
