After Saturday Night Live‘s ratings rose sharply with host Elon Musk last week, they dropped to pre-Musk levels last night. The season’s penultimate episode, hosted by Keegan-Michael Key with Olivia Rodrigo as musical guest, drew a 3.5 household Live+Same Day rating in the 44 metered local markets and a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating in the 25 markets with local people meters.
That was down from the May 8 show, hosted by Musk with musical guest Miley Cyrus, which posted some of the season’s best numbers, averaging a 4.7 in overnight households and a 2.7 in adults 18-49. Last night’s telecast was in line with spring 2021 SNL episodes, most recently the April 10 original, the last before the highly rated Musk show, with host Carey Mulligan and musical guest Kid Cudi, which averaged a 3.6 in Hh and a 1.5 in 18-49.
Last night’s results represent a new Hh season low and match a 18-49 low in the metered markets.
