The Nov. 7 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Druski with the Strokes as musical guest, brought in a strong 5.6 million viewers.

Not only does that total outpace the 5.2 million viewers achieved by Inde Navarrette and Gracie Abrams’ Halloween episode, which was previously the Season 52 record, but it marks the most viewers “SNL” has seen in two years.

The most recent episode to outrank Druski’s was during the landmark 50th season, when John Mulaney and Chappell Roan boosted the show to 6.6 million viewers on Nov. 2, 2024.
