SNL hasn’t been funny for decades.

And you can't blame politics for that. SNL is just not funny.

SNL has been funny, very funny, and edgy, and brilliant. This is off the top of my head, and they’ve done a lot more that’s worked. They got lazy and slid into politics for cheap laughs starting with the very unfunny Chevy Chase.

That whacked half the audience looking for a laugh, since Conservatives are essentially happy people, and liberals are generally miserable.

They used to have folks that could be funny without being political. Now they’re as funny as the table of contents.
