Inde Navarrette propelled “SNL” to its highest viewership of the season so far.
Navarrette’s Halloween episode, featuring musical guest Gracie Abrams, brought in 5.2 million viewers on NBC, according to live-plus same-day viewership figures, ranking as the No. 1 most-watched episode of the season so far.
It was also the most-watched episode of the season on Peacock, and had the largest “SNL” audience on Peacock since March 14, when Harry Styles pulled double duty as host and musical guest.
The Halloween episode also scored the largest demo audience among adults 18-49 since November 2, 2024, when John Mulaney hosted the show.
Mulaney may have a chance to reclaim that title when he hosts Nov. 14 as he returns to the “SNL” stage for the seventh time on the heels of co-starring in the Prime Video movie “Madden.” But before then, Druski and musical guest The Strokes will take the “SNL” stage on Nov. 7.
In addition, “SNL” video content posted on the show’s social networks received the highest number of viewers of any program this season with 325 million views as of Tuesday morning on YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok.
Previous hosts for Season 51 so far include Jalen Brunson, Dakota Johnson and Shane Gillis, who rocked the boat with a controversial comment about women’s gym clothes, which Navarrette later took a swipe at during her monologue.
“I know it’s really important to Marvel that you get really healthy, so I’ve been working out a lot,” said the actress. “Every morning, I put on my little whore outfit and hit the gym.”
“SNL” premieres on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT and streams live on Peacock.
The late-night sketch show is produced in association with Broadway Video, with Lorne Michaels serving as creator and executive producer.
