Is that show still around?
These idiots are clueless. Trump is in no nonsense mode. It will come down to this.
You are either a positive force on our country and way of life or a negative force. The media does not have the right or authority to undermine our gov’t under the disquise of the first amendment.
I get a kick out of kistening of late to Meygn Kelly saying that she and Trump are now good friends.
She expected the man to lose. He didn’t
Aw, c’mon. The liberal bubble city bit was funny!
People still watch that infantile dreck?
No one wants to hear their crap anymore. They are no longer funny, that’s it.
Wake me up when SNL has the cojones to air something like the Dan Aykroyd/Richard Pryor job interview, or the Buck Henry ‘Uncle Roy’ skits.
I don’t think they care about ratings.
Their mission is to pump out liberalism and make it seem cool to young people.
Last week was terrible, Hate filled mean spirited anti-Trump skits - they really need to get over it and try to me funny - maybe poke some fun at Hillary losing and Obama moving out, that would be funny.
Or, poke fun at themselves - do a skit about a Saturday show that has the absolute worst musical guests on the planet.
If I were being lampooned on SNL, I’d demand an impersonator with at least a modicum of talent. Baldwin is no impersonator, and his writers have no clue about Trump’s policies.
The show is ready for Prime Time Buh Bye.
I actually thought Baldwin did a pretty good Trump. They need to ease up a bit on the harshness though. It is too far beyond reason to be funny.
SNL is pretty much unwatchable and BORING.
Buh bye!
That all said, it's often bandied about here that SNL has not been funny since the days of Belushi and variations of that.
Not true.
SNL has been consistently funny for over 40 years, except maybe that early 1980s period when Lorne Michaels was not running the show.
Some people get twisted in a knot over the SNL brand of humor. I'm not one of those. Of course they are going to make fun of Donald Trump. That's what they do. They also did a number on Hillary during the campaign, portraying her as a grasping power-hungry woman desperately trying to win the White House at all costs.
Now they are a bunch of liberals so they probably do pull some punches when it comes to satirizing the Left. I've always wondered why there couldn't be a similar "SNL" type show that comes from the Right. There's a market for that as evidenced by the success of shows like "South Park." I wonder why such a show has never been done. I'd certainly go out of my way to watch it.
There has been this myth that every presidential candidate gets equally roasted and that it’s best to be a good sport, show the public you have a thick skin and a sense of humor.
That was always horse shit - the way they made fun of democrats was always different - like Clinton being portrayed not as an evil predator but as a harmless playboy blessed with unlimited sexual vigor, while Bush portrayed as Hitler’s idiot brother.
But if there was even the slightest bit of truth to the myth - it was exploded when the Obamas came to the White House - a total hands off policy was adopted so immediately and unanimously that you’d think every comic, satirist or cartoonist in the land must have actually received a memo to that effect.
Turn off everything else NBC...for good...
SNL is DEAD, Jim.
