NBC's Saturday Night Live (0.63, -0.28) was down by nearly three-tenths for its first episode of 2026, despite the presence of Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard and musical guest A$AP Rocky. On CBS, a massive NFL lead-in boosted a Final Twist rerun (0.66) to lofty heights, and some of that help trickled down to the original episode of 48 Hours (0.21, +0.07). ABC aired repeats of 9-1-1: Nashville (0.08/0.07/0.06), while the CW went with encores of TV We Love (0.01/0.01). Key: (R) = repeat.
