Just a Trump bump.
With all the hype he couldn’t beat Charles Barkley?
“Trrble Ernie, just trrble”
As well, many people "time shift" and they record and watch the show at a more reasonable time. Not sure if those are counted.
Lastly, SNL has a free mobile app for tablets and phones in which you can see most of the skits (as well as many from years past) on your device. Since they came out with that, that's how I see most of it.
Used to be a time in our culture where a TV show was a happening and you had to be in front of your set at a particular time and on a particular channel, or you missed out on it. I remember back in the 1980s when they had the finale of a show whose name I can't remember. What I do remember is that the streets of Boston were literally empty, as everybody was home watching that show. I think it was "Cheers" or "M.A.S.H." - I can't remember.
Not the case any longer. If you want to watch a TV show, most of them are available on Netflix or Hulu on demand.
Eventually virtually everything ever put to film or broadcast will be available on demand. Including footage from security cameras. So someday, I will be able to go back in time and see myself waiting in line at a Dunkin Donuts walking down the street someplace.
I hope U.S. companies take note of this next time they consider bowing to boycott threats from the left. They can even save some money by not contributing to gay or transgender causes.
Move while you still can, get the hell out of our country! And don't even think of voting!
Trump was the reason the viewership was huge ... but the show was so bad that I couldn't watch the whole thing.
I wonder if the libtard writers did not want to make a great show out of fear it would make Trump look good. So they offered mediocre stuff.
They sure didn't encourage any viewers to tune in next week.
Huh? Who was the musical guest?
