>Last night Saturday Night Live with guest host Lindsay Lohan (see a complete review of the sad attempt at a comeback tour) was the second highest-rated episode of the season, behind only the Charles Barkley episode after the very high-rated NFL Wild Card game. Lohan’s episode last night averaged a 5.5 household rating and 14 share in the 56 metered markets, compared to an 8.2 / 19 for Charles Barkley on January 7.
In the 25 metered markets with demographic ratings, the Lindsay Lohan episode last night averaged a 3.3 rating with Adults 18-49, more than doubling the highest-rated show in prime time Saturday (the 1.3 rating for the 20/20 special My Extreme Affliction on ABC).
