Ratings Analysis: Host Michael Keaton and musical guest Billie Eilish could not keep Saturday Night Live (0.71, -0.23) from dropping by more than two-tenths from last week's Ariana Grande-hosted installment (0.94). Earlier in the night, NBC's college football game (0.28) was more than two ratings points below last week's (2.34), which may explain why Saturday Night took the hit that it did. ABC's monstrous Georgia/Texas college football game (3.38) was #1 in both Adults 18-49 ratings and total viewers. Fox's own game (0.25) was a few ticks behind NBC's. 48 Hours (0.14, -0.09) collapsed on CBS. The CW aired NASCAR Xfinity (0.05) and a college football game of their own (0.09). Key: (R) = repeat.
