Lowest premier ever or lowest episode ever?

It's a bit tricky, because "ratings" are only based on the 18-49 demographic and done by Neilsen, and in that case, it's the lowest ever.  Though, that's not too much of a surprise now with streaming so popular in that demographic (NBC was quick to point out that it was the first to air stream live on Peacock, but that is laughable).  It was both the lowest rating slide year-to-year for a Premiere and the lowest Premiere ever.  Scarlett Johansson's 2015 episode remains the lowest watched episode of all time - 4.7 million viewers.  There were 4.9 million viewers last weekend.

My wife signed is up for a free Peacock trial so my kid could watch it live instead of on YouTube Sunday. We don't get NBC.

How do you not get NBC living in a metro area? Won’t a $8 antenna get you NBC?

You'd think, wouldn't you? We do have  an antenna. We get CBS, ABC, Fox, and a bunch of other stuff. Used to get NBC but can't get it in anymore no matter which way I twist the antenna.

The 1981 punk rock Halloween riot on SNL

In 1981, Lorne Michaels and John Belushi wanted to get some authentic punks to appear on SNL as audience members for the Halloween episode's musical guest, LA punk band Fear. They called Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) in DC. They were looking for about 15 people to travel up to NYC and appear on the show. More like 80 punks would descended on 30 Rock.

Correct. Also similar to (but not the same as) The Struts.
