Ariana Grande’s SNL episode scores most-watched episode since 2021

[Teletubby 144,655]

Ariana Grande led “Saturday Night Live” to its highest ratings since Elon Musk hosted the show on May 8, 2021.

Ariana Grande’s Oct. 12 episode, with musical guest Stevie Nicks, drew 5.6 million viewers in live+same day viewing on NBC, per Nielsen data. That number does not account for delayed viewing, with that data becoming available at a later date.

The Grande show also became the most-watched “SNL” episode ever on Peacock across its first two days of viewing, Sunday and Monday, according to NBC.

Per NBC, Grande’s episode drew a “record-breaking” 516 million views across “SNL’s” social channels, with 415 million of those views attributed to in-show sketch and musical performance content. (“SNL” also uploads sketches online that were cut from the broadcast for time.)

I love Ari, and she did an amazing job, but it baffles me that Americans think that SNL is hilariously funny.

I find it super cringey.

I don't pay much attention to SNL, or Ariana these days, but all of her skits have come up on my FYP on TikTok and she did amazingly. Like she kept up with or even overshadowed the actual cast
