The big promo push for Lena Dunham‘s hosting of Saturday Night Live that included her appearing on NBC’s Today and Late Night With Seth Meyers did not pay off, even with Girls creator/star
discussing/displaying some of her signature nudity on the late-night sketch show. Last night, the Dunham-hosted SNL with
musical guest The National averaged a 4.1 household rating in the
metered markets and a 2.1 in adults 18-49 in the markets with Local
People Meters. That was down 11% in households and down 19% in 18-49
from last week’s show hosted by Jim Parsons. These are SNL‘s second-lowest results of the season in both households and 18-49.
