We’re not surprised at all — but vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s appearance on Saturday Night Live delievered the show’s largest metered market household ratings since 1994.  Over the 56 measured local markets, the show averaged a 10.7/24 (household rating/share).  The full press release from NBC is below or you can watch the video clips of her appearance.

BURBANK, Calif. - October 19, 2008 - With its highly anticipated appearance by Vice Presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, “Saturday Night Live” has soared to its highest metered-market household rating in more than 14 years.

Last night’s telecast, hosted by Josh Brolin and featuring musical guest Adele, averaged a 10.7 rating, 24 share in the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research. “Saturday Night Live” towered over all late-night and primetime programs last night with the show’s highest average in metered-market households since the telecast of March 12, 1994 (hosted by Nancy Kerrigan with musical guest Aretha Franklin).

If I were Sarah I'd beware of Joe Biden coming at her with a baseball bat.

I managed to stay up long enough to see her at the beginning and during the SNL newscast. I think she did a pretty good job.

Of course I'm sure the host Josh Brolin was beside himself :-) He did a really good BDS rant in the monologue (shocker).

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I tuned into SNL last night. Sarah did pretty well, even beside Alec Baldwin & put him in his place when she said she liked Steven the best!! However, SNL is just lame any more, not at all like it was in the 70s and 80s. I guess the libtard comedians have forgotten how to be funny and would just rather push their politics.

SNL was funny until Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Jane Curtin and John Belushi left.

After that, not so much.
