Posted on 10/01/2019 9:12:26 PM PDT by Conserv

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" show experienced a drop in viewership for its opening episode in its 45th season, particularly among younger audiences that advertisers covet most.

The premiere, which included a return of Alec Baldwin as President Trump and surprise celebrity appearances by "SNL" favorites Maya Rudolph and Larry David to complement host Woody Harrelson, saw a 30 percent drop in the key 18-49 year-old demographic when compared to 2018's season opener, according to Nielsen.

The 90-minute program also saw a 15 percent decrease in overall viewers when compared to last year.

This is GREAT news for us and for Trump.

This is INSANITY!!!

The ONLY PEOPLE that believe in what’s going on are dems and the msm and some far left zealots.

But the media is treating it like it’s the END of Trump.

Like acting so will make it so.

It doesn’t work.

Yeah, I think these crappy ratings are way more insightful than any media propaganda poll.

I watched the first couple skits; they have slanted it so heavily toward politics that some of the “jokes” went over the heads of the uninformed audience.
It’s pretty bad when you can’t make people laugh who are there voluntarily.

“...a 30 percent drop in the key 18-49 year-old demographic”

My 18 to 49 year old in conversation told me about a guy she’s watching on YouTube who amuses by talking about absurdities such as saying you’re an entrepreneur on your Instagram

Laughing while telling me. Has see SNLL only in the sense that we watched - with great amusement- Dana Carney all except the Italian restaurant which is veramusing but necessarily too much for kids. And Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton on camoaign trail

Gilda - anything on video which is sparse.

The same thing’s happening to other left-wing programs like CNN, the Oscars, the NFL, etc.

They are.

This isn’t a poll.

This is semi trustworthy.

And EVERYONE who’s not under a rock knew they were gonna attack Trump.

Which means people, even the YOUNG, didn’t want to hear it

Apparently, this wasn’t a big draw...

Baldwin kicked off Saturday’s show in a skit that mocked Trump and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani over the formal impeachment inquiry launched by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) following allegations from a whistleblower that Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

HA HA

Baldwin’s ego takes another hit.

CNN Impeachment Town Hall (worth watching)

SNL: "CNN Impeachment Town Hall"

"Look, I'm like plastic straws. I've been around forever. I've always worked. And now you're mad at me?" - Joe Biden

"And, those are our choices America."

Becoming more and more partisan jackwagons, who is really surprised by this! NBC should just put a movie on in their place. Let Lorne talk to one of the cable channels. They allow all sorts of vile leftist screed on cable, and they are bundled in packages, perfect place for the low lifes.

Ratings don’t matter. Haven’t we learned by now that these giant corporations will take heavy losses to continue a narrative? They’re keeping that Roseanne spinoff on the air despite absolutely nobody watching it, ‘The Connors’.

Even if it only sometimes works, SNL is one of the greatest propaganda ploys they have.
