“The show was designed to appeal to viewers ages 18 to 34 but the recent audience spans from ages 30 to 44.”

“According to Statista, the most frequent viewers are those between ages 30 and 44. Of that surveyed population, 19% stated that they watched the program often, and 28% said they watched it sometimes.”

“Among adults ages 18-49, “SNL” was the No. 1 broadcast series of the 2024-2025 season, excluding sports and news programming, and the No. 1 broadcast or cable comedy for the sixth season running.”
