Saturday Night Live reeled in its second highest ratings Jan. 29 with hosts Jesse Eisenberg and musical guest Nicki Minaj.

That ties the second highest adults 18-49 rating of the season, only trailing the January 8 episode, which featured Jim Carrey.

via NBC press note:

In late-night metered-market households Saturday night:

“Saturday Night Live” (5.1/12 in metered-market households) hosted by Jesse Eisenberg with musical guest Nicki Minaj and a special appearance by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, dominated its time period. Versus the same night last year, “SNL” is up 1 percent in metered-market households (5.1 versus 5.0).

In the 25 Local People Meter markets, “Saturday Night Live” tied the September 25 season premiere as the second-highest-rated edition of the season in 18-49, behind only the January 8 telecast, which benefited from a high-rated primetime NFL game on NBC that night.

In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 3.2 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49, making it the #1 non-sports telecast of the night, ahead of all primetime entertainment programs on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.
