Tina Fey Gets 'Saturday Night Live' Off to Fast Ratings Start Sep 29th 2013, 23:22, by Todd Cunningham Alum Tina Fey got the 39th season of "Saturday Night Live" off to a fast ratings start. NBC reported Sunday that the show drew an average 4.7 rating in metered-market households, the best showing of any broadcast network in primetime. It also posted a 2.7/13 in adults 18-49 in the Local People Meters. Fey was joined by musical guest Arcade Fire on the show, which also included a surprise stop-in from "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul.

But Fey, a former head writer at “SNL” whose earlier comic portrayal of politician Sarah Palin became a pop culture phenomenon, couldn't quite match the ratings that she earned on her last appearance. She brought in a 5.3 households rating and a 2.8 in the key demo when she last hosted in April of 2011.
