McCain helps 'SNL' to strong ratings


November 02, 2008 The last "Saturday Night Live" before Tuesday's election -- and featuring a joint appearance by John McCain and Tina Fey as running mate Sarah Palin -- didn't disappoint in the ratings. "SNL" averaged a 9.0 household rating/20 share in the metered markets, according to preliminary data released Sunday by Nielsen Media Research. Final data will be out later this week, but it was another strong performance by the late-night sketch show, which was hosted by Ben Affleck.
