Now, "SNL" has to hope that the chaos doesn't slow down before election day. This election has been must-watch TV for months. In 2008, "SNL" had an average of 9.2 million viewers who watched it live or within seven days of the broadcast, an increase of a third over the previous season, which averaged only 6.9 million viewers. There were no significant bumps in 2004 or 2012, but "SNL" did see a huge jump in audience during the 2008 season, the recent election probably most comparable to this year's in terms of potential for satire and big-name guest stars. Historically, the show has seen more interest during election years, but not always more viewership. The "yuge" ratings the show got when Trump hosted may foreshadow similarly large viewership numbers for "SNL" until the election. After all, they've done it before - Hillary Clinton made a cameo in the season premiere last year, and Donald Trump hosted. Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump will be taking on Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton this election season on "SNL."Īnd of course it's also possible that the show may see the candidates themselves pop up, as John McCain did in 2008. ![]() Baldwin's casting follows the template set by Tina Fey when she played vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 2008, and that Larry David then extended by pulling off a near-perfect Bernie Sanders impersonation last season.
