Saturday TV Ratings 4/4/26: Saturday Night Live Rises As Jack Black Joins Five-Timers Club, The Ten Commandments Up from 2025, College Basketball Tournament Final Four Heavily Down from 2025 CBS Airing [+ Analysis]

Jack Black returned to host Saturday Night Live (0.76, +0.07) on NBC, and his presence appeared to have a positive effect on the sketch-comedy staple's Adults 18-49 ratings. MLB on Fox (0.32) was down from last week, but it still outperformed ABC's broadcast of The Ten Commandments (0.26). This Is UFC (0.06) bombed on CBS, and 48 Hours (0.13, -0.06) seemed to suffer as a result. The CW aired I Am Heath Ledger (0.02). Key: (R) = repeat.
