We can (and no doubt will) continue to argue about Sarah Palin's ability to benefit the current GOP ticket, but one thing's sure: she's the best thing to happen to Saturday Night Live's ratings in a generation.
"SNL" -- with Palin as a guest -- averaged a 10.7 rating/24 share in the 56 metered markets, according to preliminary estimates released Sunday by Nielsen Media Research. It would be the highest-rated "SNL" since March 12, 1994, when Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan was the host and Aretha Franklin the musical guest. "SNL" would also be the third-highest-rated show of all last week, including primetime, following only ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" (12.0/18) and CBS' "CSI" (11.2/17).

jordan, I like this story. It's good stuff. I almost NEVER watch SNL, but they suckered me in announcing she was making an appearance. Had to see what it was all about.
