Explained simply
Saturday Night Live is a long-running American sketch comedy show, broadcast live each week during its season. Each episode has a guest host, who joins the cast in sketches, and a musical guest; the programme is also available to stream on Peacock.
Inde Navarrette is an actor known for the series Obsession, and hosting SNL was her first time leading an episode. The show’s audience figures include people watching its broadcast and, in some measures, its streaming and online clips, so they reflect several ways viewers follow the programme.
SNL has been a prominent platform for comedy and music since it began in 1975. Ratings and clip views offer one measure of how well an episode reaches audiences, while a single episode’s performance does not by itself show a lasting change in the show’s popularity.
