  "account": "Last week's \"Saturday Night Live\" episode, hosted by Druski on November 7, achieved the highest viewership for the series in two years, according to NBC. The show also reached its most-watched figure on Peacock, with 5.6 million viewers tuning in. This surpassed the previous episode hosted by Inde Navarrette, which drew in 5.2 million viewers. The Druski episode was notably popular among the 18-49 age demographic, as well as the 18-34 group, marking the highest-watched episode in over four years. Social media engagement for the episode was astounding, accumulating 424 million views across major platforms as of Tuesday morning.\n\nSeveral factors contributed to the episode's success, with Druski's strong online presence likely playing a significant role. The series benefits from increased viewership during election season, which \"SNL\" capitalized on by featuring Senator-elect James Talarico. The episode also included standout moments such as Druski and Marcello Hernandez's \"Bubu Mobile\" sketch and the \"You Can See Everything\" parody. \"Saturday Night Live\" Season 52 will continue with John Mulaney hosting the upcoming episode, alongside Phoebe Bridgers as the musical guest. The variety series airs on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET and streams live on Peacock, produced by Broadway Video and created/ executive produced by Lorne Michaels.",
