In late-night metered market ratings (via NBC's press release):

· An encore telecast of the Oct. 11, 1975 series premiere of "Saturday Night Live," with host George Carlin and musical guests Janis Ian and Billy Preston, averaged a 3.8 rating, 10 share in household results in Nielsen's 56 metered markets and a 1.6/7 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters,

· In metered-market households, it's the top-rated "SNL" encore since Jan. 11, 2014 (with host Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Justin Timberlake, 3.8/9) and equaled the top "SNL" rebroadcast since Jan. 5, 2013 (with host Louis C.K. and musical guest fun on the night of an NFL overrun, 4.6/12).

· "SNL" is the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49 in the Local People Meters, ahead of all primetime programs on the Big 4 networks in that key measure.
