As we covered earlier today, last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ 40th Anniversary special was one for the Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings record books. 1.3 million tweets by 449,000 unique authors drew a unique audience of 9 million (a record for this TV season) and generated 187 million impressions (an all-time high since the Twitter TV Ratings were born).
SNL overshadowed (on Twitter, anyways) Jon Stewart’s announcement that he would soon be stepping down as host of ‘The Daily Show.’ Rounding out the Top 5 was ‘The Bachelor,’ ‘The Walking Dead,’ and ‘Scandal.’
Next week’s Top 10 list should look very similar but with the Oscars coasting to a first-place finish.
