In SNL’s cold open, Republican senators celebrate Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation

The Senate voted on Saturday afternoon to confirm Brett M. Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice by the narrowest margin in more than a century. Later that day, Republican lawmakers celebrated raucously — on “Saturday Night Live,” at least.

“We could tell that people really wanted Kavanaugh,” Beck Bennett’s Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told CNN anchor Dana Bash, played by Heidi Gardner. “Everyone is pumped, from white men over 60 to white men over 70."

Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” blared in the background as Bash turned to other conservative members of the Senate, such as Cecily Strong’s Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). After Kate McKinnon’s Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) praised Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) for having “scored in his own goal,” Collins addressed her own decision to vote in favor of Kavanaugh.

“The last thing I wanted was to make this about me — that’s why I told everyone to tune in at 3 p.m. so I could tell all my female supporters, ‘Psych!' " she said, referring to the real-life Collins’s lengthy Senate floor speech on Friday that caused the crash of a website that was set up to fund her future opponent, probably due to an influx of support. "Listen, I think it’s important to believe women until it’s time to stop.”

No thanks.. Saturday Night Lame is about as funny as a power failure in an Iron Lung Ward.

Lots of viewers just believe they are sick people. Lots of viewers are drunk and high on something, to believe their performances are actually funny. What do these people contribute to the world? Do they want people to be sick and out of touch with reality?

The Left decries racism. But then they insert race into every last thing. I was going to say that’s ironic. But “tragic” is a better word because such behavior can destroy a country.

Remember way back last century when the SNL skits were actually funny?

I’m so old I can actually remember when SNL was funny. Not so nowadays. Merely a commercial for Democrats.

Yep. On those old variety shows (Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, etc.) you never knew where the performers stood politically. And that was done on purpose. Those folks knew their job was to entertain, not to propagandize.

Thank goodness for DVDs. Because of them I watch almost no TV these days. Next in the queue: The Red Green Show.

SNL's current version of Ackroyd: a "comedian" whose entire schtick is that his father died and his girlfriend is Ariana Grande. I forget his name.

SNL was successful when their humor appealed to the whole country. Then their humor became east coast centric. Ok fine. They it became New York city centric. Didn’t get the humor, quit watching. Then they went off the rails.

Ariana said he has a big Pecker, so that must count for something. She is a great Donut licker. I can only imagine what she can do with a Long John.

I assume he will be signing a Prenup since I have no idea how he makes a lot of money getting paid Scale when he shows up on SNL. The dye job on his hair must have cost seven or eight bucks all by itself.
