Last week’s “SNL” with Martin Short and a huge group of all-stars was a hit.
Total viewers came in at 4.79 million, the fourth highest of the fall season. It was the biggest audience since John Mulaney hosted on November 2nd, up 500K viewers since the Chris Rock show a week before.
“SNL” didn’t announce any surprises, so the come on was just for Short and singer Hozier. More viewings once the news got out aren’t known yet.
The episode was pretty much perfect. Every bit of it worked. And no. Tom Hanks is not ill. Someone please tell the tabloids.
