Druski's November 4 episode attracted 5.6 million viewers, the highest for Saturday Night Live since John Mulaney's November 2, 2024, appearance, according to The A.V. Club. The episode also achieved a 22 percent share among 18-49-year-olds, a demographic the show has struggled to engage recently.
The episode's cold open featuring James Talarico garnered over 11 million views on Peacock and YouTube. The Strokes' performance also contributed to the ratings, with the band attracting younger viewers as part of their recent fanbase growth.
