NBC’s 50th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live hit a very strong 14.8 million viewers on average across NBC and Peacock on Sunday night.

That number is 202% above the average number of viewers who have tuned into each regular episode of “SNL” throughout its 50th season, which is 4.9 million — itself a 13% improvement on last season’s same-day viewership. And among the key adults 18-49 demographic, the special scored a 2.5 rating.

This is the network’s most-watched primetime entertainment telecast (meaning non-sports and non-news) in five years, as well as the fourth-most-watched entertainment telecast of all time on Peacock, only coming behind three Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade telecasts.

“SNL” gets a significant portion of its viewership on YouTube, where, for example, Sunday’s “Black Jeopardy” sketch has already reached 2.8 million views.

NBC reports that the special reached 8.7 million social interactions and became the network’s “most social” entertainment telecast in two years as well as being the most social “SNL” episode ever.

NBC did not report exact viewership for “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” which aired on Friday night, but did share that the special hit nearly double the average reach of “SNL” this season over a three-day period.

The culmination of a full season of programming celebrating the landmark anniversary, “SNL50” was full of celebrity guests and returning “SNL” cast members. Along with “Black Jeopardy,” which featured Kenan Thompson, Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Leslie Jones and Chris Rock.
