SNL Premiere Rates Big

(From Cynopsis)

The season premiere of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE this past weekend, featuring Olympian MICHAEL PHELPS as host and a cameo by TINA FEY as VP Candidate SARAH PALIN, drew in 7.4/18 in metered markets, reports NIELSEN.

That number marks the highest rated episode since September 29, 2001 with REESE WITHERSPOON hosting, which was also the first SNL episode following the 9/11 attacks.

National numbers for the SNL season debut will be out on Thursday.
