SNL Still Going Strong
Filed under: TV News > James Franco > Sarah Palin
The ratings are in and…
The second episode of Saturday Night Live this season proved that politics are more popular than ever as the show scored a 5.8 rating/14 share in the metered markets on September 20th.
Hosted by James Franco with Kings of Leon performing, the second episode continued the season's banging debut with viewership up 41% from over last year's second episode and included a controversial Palin incest skit (If you missed it we'll just leave it to your imagination….).
Wonder what that will do for next week's ratings!

I love you iJosh!
Love your show : youtube/itsjustsexxx
So cute!
Ok
That episode was so fucking funny. Im going to start watching it again.
I was upset when it stopped being so funny, but now I think it BACK again.
SEXIEST THING OF MY LIFE
KoL were so great! Their new CD comes out tomorrow!!!
that is surprising. james franco is cute, but not so funny.
james franco is hot =)
james franco was awesome!!!
Vote Obama/Biden in November!
Ratings may be up but I'm still waiting for the funny. MadTV is much funnier.
I'm disappointed with the new Kings of Leon….too much like their last effort. They have not come close to matching the energy on their first two.
thats awesome… Palin is a joke herself. i am sad that she even shares the same gender as me. Which i don't know if I believe she is a woman any way she is ugly as shit!
I'd suck the snot right out of his nose.
I've loved James Franco since I first saw him in Tristan and Isold. He's great. Saturday Night Live is the funniest show ever. Very Original
I WANT TO EAT THIS MANS ASS.
he's funny! & gorgeous
I LOVE SNL. Always have and always will.
I thought KOL was awesome! I loved the James Bond stoner skit too.
Why was Cameron Diaz on? Does she date Josh now or someone from KOL? Just curious.
What! James Franco was on SNL and I missed it?? Aww. Oh well, the TERRIBLE cast surely made it suck anyway.
hope obama gets equally funnery made of him…being equal and all.
James Franco is such a man treat
James Franco is such a man-treat
Funny - I posted something slammin' NBC and it didn't get posted. Is this Democratic censorship? Hmmm…
And the "forward thinking" Dems supposedly are the open-minded party. Ha! Their open-minded as long as it rolls their way.
Come on - Perez - put my post on.
SNL is like watching someone die. A few good breaths and then nothing for about 1 minute or two. The cast is really bogged down with some crummy talent. The one or two people left who COULD be funny are left dragging around the dead weight.
I'd like to see SNL co-hosted by Vince Gallo and Jack Kevorkian. Gallo, just to see the cast drink vodka and suck his cock, and Kevorkian, for the obvious reason of putting the show out of its misery.
god damnnnniiittitititit!!! the saturday night live episode i decide to miss, james is hosting and the KINGS GET TO PLAY! FUCK
Well, I see it happened again. Perez will post anything a left-winger will writes - but not so for the rest of us.
If I don't see my other post come up - I will never come back here - but will GLADLY make known how leftist this site is. I have lots of other places I blog - and it WILL get out.
You, Perez are a hypocrit. You want all this freedom for gays and the less fortunate - yet you intentionally squelch an opinion that doesn't fit your agenda. It's your site - do what you will. But don't be surprised when you're marxist tactics start getting publicized.
Bye - you big pink-haired freak. I have no more time to waste on a site that has such strong censorship. And you call yourself progressive. Heck - you're the TYPICAL oppressive democrat that I figured you for.
of course james franco was dope!!!
loved it!
James Franco is fucking sexy at 30.
ahhhh KINGS OF LEON CD COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!get excited!!!
caleb looked so hot during the performances
I didn't watch for politics, I watched for James Franco…yum.
…and for the comedy of course…
The opening skit Sat. night was great…. totally blasting McCain's campaign team.
Very true!!
Boycott NBC. Their journalistic integrity is less than poor. Fox News Fair and Balanced and they mean it.
Love him!!
how about a skit with Barack Hussein being a terrorist?
how about a skit with Joe Biden being a plagiarist with hair plugs?
how about a skit with Michelle Obama hating America?
I loved the skit about the cougar den. so funny!!!
Re: ErinChristine – oh honey, you need to get out more. So sad
celebrities are really going out of their way to annoy me these days! Seems the only good ones left are Miley and the Jonas Bros
Saturday's episode was fucking terrible. James Franco sucked. Was he stoned or something?? He kept closing his eyes.
what skit? i want to see it!
Marry me James!!!
Re: Milo Cyrus –
