Eddie Murphy‘s return to Saturday Night Live has brought the show’s ratings to a new high after a remarkable 35 years. Marking his first return to the show since 1984, Eddie Murphy was joined by a wide range of talent including Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, and Chris Rock, including music from Lizzo. According to reports, more than 9 Million viewers tuned in live or on the same day, and the show recorded a rating of 2.5 among adults aged 18 to 49. The rating also ties with the season two premiere of Fox’s Masked Singer for the demographic’s highest-rated entertainment show, and reportedly is now the highest-rated comedy telecast across all networks since the finale of Big Bang Theory earlier this year.
