Ratings Analysis: Comedian Shane Gillis made his
Saturday Night Live debut after being fired from the show in 2019, and the ratings clearly benefited.
SNL (0.76,
+0.11) picked up more than a full tenth in the Adults 18-49 demographic and gave NBC a Saturday night win in that key demographic. ABC's Celtics v. Knicks NBA game (0.52) came the closest to
SNL but was still more than two-tenths below it. College basketball on Fox (0.19) was abysmal, while college basketball on the CW (0.06) was passable by the network's low standards.
48 Hours (0.26,
+0.03) climbed higher on CBS.
