UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - January 26, 2012 - The January 21 encore edition of "Saturday Night Live" has scored the show's highest adult 18-49 and total-viewer results for a rebroadcast since April 2011, according to "live plus same day" viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

Last weekend's encore, hosted by Emma Stone and featuring musical guest Coldplay, dominated its slot with a 1.8 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 5.1 million viewers overall. The January 21 results are the highest for an "SNL" rebroadcast in both 18-49 and total viewers since the April 16, 2011 edition hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow with musical guest Cee Lo Green.
