Right in the middle was CBS's coverage of President-elect Joe Biden's victory speech (0.7). CBS closed things out with a much lower-rated '48 Hours' (0.3). Fox went with a weak 'PBC Boxing' (0.3). Finally, a Dave Chapelle-hosted 'Saturday Night Live' posted a colossal 2.6 A18-49 rating, double what the comedy series garnered last week (1.3).
