When Anne Hathaway was questioned about her ex boyfriend Rafaello Follieri on Saturday Nights Live, she joked, "I broke up with my boyfriend... and two weeks later he was sent to prison for fraud ... I mean, we've all been there, right, ladies?"

Though "SNL" averaged a 7.4 household rating, Hathaway's appearance on "SNL" helped the show score one of its highest-ratings  since 2002.

Hathaway’s close friends remarked that they weren't surprised that Hathaway was a good sport.

"She is so moving on," says a friend. “People didn't really give her enough credit when she was in the middle of it all.  she's always been fun and a little self-deprecating."

The episode with Tina Fey and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was also a huge draw.

Compared to the first four weeks of last season, SNL is up 49% in the metered markets.

Rumors are rife that Fey will indeed appear every week until the elections. However a rep for "SNL" says, "There is no way to confirm her."
