Why is Donald Trump hosting âSaturday Night Liveâ next weekend after NBC canceled the Miss Universe pageant?
âItâs called ratings,â Trump told The Post. âI go on Jimmy Fallon, he got his best ratings. One of the best nights heâs had in years. Then I did Colbertâs show. That got fantastic ratings. He beat Fallon by a lot. Since then, NBC and I get along great.â
âThe Tonight Showâ drew 4.46 million viewers when Trump appeared on Sept. 11, its biggest Friday audience in 18 months. Trumpâs Sept. 22 sit-down on âThe Late Showâ on CBS averaged 4.56 million viewers, the showâs second-largest ratings since Stephen Colbertâs debut. Fallon averaged 3.38 million viewers the same night.
Those numbers have welcomed Trump back to the network that had a very public falling out with the candidate in June.
First, Trump says NBC was upset that he pulled out of âCelebrity ÂApprentice.â
âIf youâre running for president you canât have a television show. NBC was not happy. They wanted to give me 28 shows. I said I canât commit. [Executive producer] Mark Burnett called me. He said, âYouâre the only person I know whoâs turning down a major extension.âââ
Then came his June 16 presidential campaign announcement.

>>Combined with The Donald’s inherent love of America and her traditions, along with his competitive spirit, boundless energy and prodigious intellect, we have the ingredients for an epic saga and hopefully an epic finish where President Donald Trump leads not only an ailing nation, but a dangerously sick world into the light.<<
Geez, send him all your money and your first-born why don’t you?
Something about that article suggested to me that the Don used his time on CA to learn everything there is to know about ratings and how to use them as a weapon.
“even Rove is losing weight, trying to reconcile their âcomputer modelâ campaign tactics with the juggernaut steam roller style of Mr Trump.”
LOL!
And don't forget the 112-page Powerpoint of the Jebbie Bush campaign. The GOPe has been caught flat-footed by Donald Trump and they have no idea how to react to it. They are still stuck in the 20th Century - dinosaurs that they are.
LOL! I would...if he could use either!
I too think Trump is the real deal and all I see on FR anymore is Cruz. I know I’m the minority but the Corker/Cardin bill brought me to a screeching halt on Cruz. I can’t see any reason to vote for it unless it was extremely important to his backers.
Sorry.
Go Trump go!
