That preliminary local people meter rating of a 2.3 will be more than enough to win top honors for Saturday night if it holds up in the national finals. The original telecast averaged a 2.7 with adults 18-49 four weeks ago. Last week's original telecast (Jon Hamm & musical gues Rihanna) averaged a 2.5 rating. Anyway you look at it, the Jane Lynch episode repeated well.
Via NBC - In late-night metered-market households Saturday night:
- An encore telecast of “Saturday Night Live" (4.4/10 in metered-market households) hosted by Jane Lynch with musical guest Bruno Mars, dominated its time period.

- In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 2.3 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and was the #1 show of the night in the Local People Meters, ahead of all primetime telecasts on the English-language broadcast networks.
