Saturday Night Live: Gaga's ratings match the show high
Lady Gaga's hosting and performance on Saturday Night Live helped the show sustain high ratings this week on NBC.
Gaga’s show on SNL averaged a 4.9/12 in metered market households this weekend, according to Deadline.
That number matches the Kerry Washington/Eminem episode and beats Miley Cyrus’ showing, which got a 4.5 rating.
"In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, last night''s SNL logged a 2.6/12 in adults 18-49, also even with the Washington-Eminem episode and off a tenth this season''s high posted by the season premiere hosted by Tina Fey and the Miley Cyrus episode," Deadline reports.
Gaga admitted she practised emceeing the show for years in hopes she'd finally get the chance.
"I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. I've been rehearsing my SNL hosting performance since I was four, so I'm okay," she told Access Hollywood.
"I actually told them [the writers] to push it," she said. "I told them to have a good time and not be worried about me being offended or not liking anything. So they really went for it."
