ELLEN DeGeneres’ guest-hosting gig and an appearance by Rudolph Giuliani on “Saturday Night Live” this week brought the show its best ratings in nearly a year.

With a 7.6/18 overnight rating, the show, which also featured musical group No Doubt, nailed its best figure since last January 20. Roughly 7.6 million homes were tuned into “SNL.”

The show was about a tenth of a ratings point higher than when Yankee all-star Derek Jeter hosted the show earlier this month, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Saturday night’s audience was on-par with this year’s season premier that was hosted by Reese Witherspoon and, oddly enough, included an appearance by Giuliani too.
