Last night's edition of "Saturday Night Live," delivered the highest "SNL" average ratings...

WITH HOST STEVE MARTIN AND MUSICAL GUEST PRINCE, 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' GRABS ITS HIGHEST LOCAL-MARKET AVERAGE SINCE OCTOBER 2004

BURBANK, Calif. - Feb. 5, 2006 - Last night's edition of "Saturday Night Live," hosted by Steve Martin and featuring musical guest Prince, delivered the highest "SNL" average rating in 16 months in the local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research.

The Feb. 4 edition of "Saturday Night Live" averaged a 7.0 household rating, 16 share in the metered markets, the highest local-market score for "SNL" since the opening edition of the 2004-05 season on Oct. 2, 2004. Note that averages currently include 53 markets, with Seattle, New Orleans, and Greenville-Spartanburg currently excluded from Saturday's overnight ratings.

Last night's telecast marked Martin's record 14th appearance hosting "Saturday Night Live." For Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and musical superstar Prince, this was his first "SNL" performance since 1981.

National ratings and demographic results for last night's "Saturday Night Live" are due from Nielsen Thursday, Feb. 9.
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

1. Nice. Hoepfully, most people were as impressed with Prince's 1st performance as I was.

2. I am sorry, but I am irritated by the whole misnomer that he hasn't been on since 1981. Prince played their 15th anniversary TV special in 1990. Of course, you all knew that one.

2020, I know you didn't write this but whoever did forgot about the '89 Electric Chair SNL Gig. The ratings should have been up - two great performers.

Are we talking about the same performance? Was Electric Chair '90? If not what did he do in '90?

Well, 'Fury' was the kind of performance that will impress even a casual listener.

Besides the awewome 'all along the watch tower' type of amazing guitar palying....Prince did not look like he was trying to be too cool...he just let it fly and looked like he was putting in a serious effort. He let it fly...it was just amazing.

It was a funny show on Saturday...but sadly I didnt think any of the Steve Martin skits were up to par with his past skits...but what I did love...

-Finese Mitchell as Aretha Franklin 'You Betta THINK, Think! Think about getting me some biscuits!'

-Horacio Sanz as Aaron Neville in the same Super Bowl skit...his singing was dead on!

-'Prince Show'...kills me everytime...Fred Armstein is dead on sometimes lol

-Teddy Bear holding a heart/Valentine's Day skit

-'Weekend Update' especially the abortion bit and the black monument bit.

see no Steve...and I love me some Steve!

peace
Every minute of last night is on my face today....
