The ratings for this week's Saturday Night Live received a "huge" Trump bump.
Thanks to Donald Trump's highly publicized hosting gig over the weekend, the late night NBC series received its biggest overnight rating since 2012.
According to NBC, SNL snagged a monumental 6.6 household rating on Saturday night, easily beating the season’s previous high, a 4.5 rating, that came during the show's 41st season premiere last month. Coincidentally, that episode, which was hosted by Miley Cyrus, also featured a guest appearance by none other than Trump's presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

In fact, Trump’s overnight rating was 47 percent higher than the Miley/Hillary episode.
During Trump's second hosting stint -- he previously hosted in April 2004 -- the Republican presidential candidate poked fun at himself many times throughout the episode and he even showed off his awkward dance skills in a pre-taped sketch that parodied Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video.
