Druski has plenty to celebrate following his historic ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosting debut.
For, the comedian’s November 7 stint on the NBC staple has delivered the show’s biggest audience in two years!
The milestone comes just days after the funnyman playfully joked that his appearance could bring the long-running series to an end.
Instead, the numbers tell quite a different story.
Full story below…
According to Nielsen Live+Same Day ratings data, Druski’s episode attracted an average of 5.585 million viewers, the highest total for ‘SNL’ since November 2024.
The broadcast, which featured The Strokes as musical guests, also drew 1.504 million viewers aged 18-49.
Both figures represent new highs for Season 52.
Compared with the previous week’s Halloween episode, total viewership climbed 8%, while the coveted 18-49 demographic rose an impressive 18%.
The show also benefited from a strong college football lead-in, with the Miami-Notre Dame game attracting 8.5 million viewers.
Still, it’s quite the result for the 32-year-old.
As reported, Druski became the first entertainer primarily known as a digital content creator to host ‘SNL’.
His episode featured a surprise appearance from Emma Stone, along with sketches such as ‘Dru Can See Everything’, which saw him revisit his headline-grabbing “whiteface” comedy.
The ratings triumph makes his pre-show joke about getting ‘SNL’ cancelled all the more amusing.
And the momentum continues.
Druski recently secured a major Netflix deal, with his forthcoming comedy series ‘Collect & Praise’ premiering December 1.
From online sketches to record-setting television audiences, his crossover continues to gather pace.
