Does tween power know no limits?

On a weekend where Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana movie ruled at the box office, the Zac Efron-hosted Saturday Night Live posted the show's highest overnight ratings, NBC said, since, yes, the Jonas Brothers guested in February.

Elsewhere:

? Friday Night Lights' third-season finale scored its biggest audience since its third-season premiere: 4.4 million viewers, per preliminary Nielsen estimates.

? Celebrity Apprentice (7.9 million) made the most of very little Easter Sunday competition: It was up nearly 1 million viewers from last week.

? CBS netted the biggest weekend audience from 7-8 p.m. Sunday with 14.7 million viewers for the final minutes of the Masters and the first minutes of 60 Minutes.
