Last week's "Saturday Night Live" episode, hosted by Druski, marked the series' highest viewership in two years. Airdate November 7, it also set the record for the most-watched "SNL" episode on streaming platform Peacock. Featuring The Strokes as musical guests, the special drew in 5.6 million viewers, surpassing the previous record of 5.2 million held by the episode hosted by Inde Navarrette two weeks prior.

Among the key demographic group aged 18 to 49, the Druski-hosted show's performance was its best in two years. However, for the 18 to 34 age bracket, this November's episode ranks as the most-watched "SNL" installment in over four years. Notably, a similar scenario transpired in 2021 when Elon Musk hosted the show with Miley Cyrus as the musical guest, a fact that has a certain ironic resonance given Jeremy Culhane's recent Musk impersonation.
