Lady Gaga may have stripped back her trademark theatrics, but she’s still proving a must-see for the masses.
Case in point her recent stint on Saturday Night Live.
Full story below…
Gaga guested on the long-running series this past weekend, performing ‘A-YO’ and ‘Million Reasons’ from her new album ‘Joanne.’
Per ratings data, her appearance (which was hosted by actor Tom Hanks) drew the best viewership of the current season thus far.
NBC notes that Saturday’s “SNL” drew a 6.1 overnight household rating; and that it posted a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating in the 25 markets with local people meters.
Translation?
Gaga’s showing was the best metered-market rating for an October ‘SNL’ since 2008. It’s also the best performance for any ‘SNL’ since Nov. 7, 2015.
‘Joanne,’ as reported, is on-course to open at #1.
