· With a telecast featuring appearances by Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey, last night's "Saturday Night Live" equaled the show's highest Week 2 household rating in the metered markets since the Sept. 20, 2008 edition, hosted by James Franco with musical guest Kings of Leon, which scored a 5.7 rating. Last night's 5.2 was equaled over that span by the Oct. 1, 2011 Week 2 telecast hosted by Melissa McCarthy with musical guest Lady Antebellum.

· In adult 18-49 results in the 25 markets with local people meters, last night's 2.4 for "Saturday Night Live" was the show's highest Week 2 rating since Oct. 5, 2013 (2.7 with host and musical guest Miley Cyrus).

· National ratings, including viewer totals, for last night's "Saturday Night Live" are due from Nielsen on Tuesday.

· The L+3 viewer total of 11.788 million for the Oct. 1 debut telecast made it the most-watched "SNL" season premiere in 22 years, since the Sept. 24, 1994 opener hosted by Steve Martin with musical guest Eric Clapton (12.201 million).

Saturday Primetime Ratings:

With the NASCAR Spring Cup race from Charlotte postponed due to weather, NBC aired encores of "Dateline Saturday Night Mystery" (0.4/2 in 18-49, 2.3 million viewers overall) and "SNL Vintage" (0.5/2 in 18-49, 2.0 million viewers overall) in primetime.
