Ryan Gosling’s episode attracts 8.9 million viewers

As host of the April 13 episode, Ryan Gosling brought “Saturday Night Live” its largest Peacock audience ever, reaching seven days of viewers.

While an exact number of Peacock viewers is not available, the episode’s seven-day total across all platforms is 8.9 million – up from the 1.7 million viewers who tuned in the night of the episode. This comes from a combination of Nielsen’s measurements of linear viewers on NBC and NBCUniversal’s own data on streams on Peacock.

This represents the show’s best seven-day viewership since December 2021, when Billie Eilish served as both host and musical guest. Additionally, the episode rose from a 0.3 rating among adults 18-49 on April 13 to a seven-day rating of 2.0, the show’s highest since Dave Chappelle hosted in November 2022 with Foo Fighters as musical guest.
