Maya Rudolph is brilliant, but the general “SNL” audience considers her part of the family and not a guest host.
Jack Harlow is unknown to just about everyone as a white rapper, and isn’t a draw.
These are the lessons learned from last night’s show as “SNL” had the lowest recorded ratings in over a decade. Going back to 2009 you can’t find a 3.6 million rating. But that’s what happened as Rudolph — albeit wonderful– hosted, and Harlow performed.
The show lost 500,000 viewers from its last airing on February 27th. Post-election, “SNL” has been averaging around 4.1 million.
The season high was 9.1 million on the Saturday after the election, and the numbers stayed around 6 million for three more weeks. But then reality set in: Alec Baldwin as Trump was gone. Trump himself was gone, and with him all acerbic political bashing. The resistance was done. “SNL” suddenly lacked a purpose. It went from being appointment viewing to a pedestrian experience. The fans tuned out.

“My question is Who the hell is Maya Rudolph?”
She was in that documentary about the future called “Idiocracy “🤣.
Martin Short was getting lots of under boob action last night
Thanks. Minnie Ripperton had a great voice.
It debute in 75 dumbass
If SNL would do skits of Hunter Biden dope/sex deals, Joe forgetting his name and Andrew Cuomo playing grab ass with his staff their ratings would skyrocket.
He's funny to me.
Hilarious, even.
He may be brilliant.
It was funny on May 12, 1976.
I laughed.
Something about a samurai and some chips. And pepsi, I think. Or was it coke?
It’s a show for WOKE white democrats with chips on their shoulders...
That’s a fun crowd.../s
Some fake news fake journalist stands up and asks,
"When you were S'ing Willie Brown's D, did you know he was married?".
*she responds*
LIVE FROM NEW YORK...ITS SATURDAY NIGHT!
RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bernie is funny? His politics are I guess. The only thing about SNL I liked was their skit about a different ending to It’s A Wonderful Life where Potter got it big time.
I agree completely. By the way, I would take President Camacho over Biden any day of the week.
Yeah, that was when Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, and that crew were the cast.
It’s acceptable to make fun of Bernie (even though he’s Jewish).

Best SNL monologue...ever. (audio only)
They should do that. While saying nothing about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because they're "off limits". But they won't because Hunter Biden and Andrew Cuomo are Democrats, therefore that would make the Party look bad. Can't do that.
It may have been the worst SNL I’ve ever seen...and I’ve seen a lot.
It’s a guilty pleasure of mine, like watching two drunk chicks fight outside the bar.
“We watched SNL every week when we lived in Hawaii. It was hilarious! Quit watching about the same time we left. That was in 1973. Hasn’t been funny since then”
Cool story Bro, the first episode of SNL aired on October 11, 1975. You must be confusing SNL with Laurence Welk.
Yes and at the end of Ripperton’s hit
Loving You, she took delight in her daughter’s antics in the studio and
ad libbed “Maya, Maya, Maya..”
I quit watching SNL when the TV station removed FANTASTIC THEATER (SI-FI movies)and started showing SNL. Watched it only to see if Fantastic Theater would be on after. It wasn’t.
Brilliantly done. I’ve put it on DVD to play at the end of the movie since a couple of family members like that movie and I’m “forced” to watch it only if I get to play the SNL ending.
