Inde Navarrette's Halloween episode of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) achieved its highest viewership of the season, with 5.2 million viewers tuning in on NBC, according to live-plus-same-day ratings. This marked the season's top-performing episode thus far on both NBC and Peacock, outperforming even the previous high achieved by Harry Styles' Halloween episode in March.
The Halloween episode also set a new season record for the most-watched adult 18-49 demographic since November 2, 2024, when John Mulaney hosted. Mulaney might reclaim that title on November 14 when he hosts for the seventh time, following his turn in the Prime Video film "Madden." However, in the meantime, Druski and musical guest The Strokes are set to perform on November 7.
Additionally, "SNL" video content posted on the show's social media platforms garnered the highest viewership of any episode this season, amassing 325 million views across YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok as of Tuesday morning. Past hosts for Season 51 thus far have included Jalen Brunson, Dakota Johnson, and Shane Gillis, whose controversial comment about women's gym clothing during his monologue caused a stir.
