Open thread: Trump to make “Saturday Night Live” great again
Hot Air ^ | 11/7/2015

Posted on 11/07/2015 6:07:54 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. If this guy can make this show funny, making America great again will be a snap.

If he’s smart, and he is, 80 percent of the jokes will be at his own expense. The intrigue lies with the other 20 percent. How nasty will he and the cast get with his competition? Tonight’s an unusual opportunity for Trump to humiliate the other candidates in front of a big audience, if SNL is willing to play along. A cutting joke about Carson or Bush or Rubio will become a prism through which some low-information voters view them going forward, just as Trump’s own “low energy” putdown of Jeb ended up sticking to him. That’s a big subplot tonight: How eager will the mostly liberal SNL writers be to help Trump score points against the rest of the field?

The other big subplot is whether anyone will disrupt the show. That dopey PAC that made the ad of little kids cursing at Trump over immigration has been publicizing a $5,000 reward for any audience member who shouts “Trump is a racist” while the broadcast is in progress. I’ve even seen speculation on social media that the cast itself might double-cross Trump somehow by doing something to humiliate him because of his politics. I’ll believe that when I see it, but this gets to the special intrigue of Trump appearing on this show of all shows: You never know what’ll come out of his mouth and you never know what might go wrong on live TV. Anything can happen.

As much as I detest Larry Sanders, he’s so funny playing The Bern.

Now Bernie Sanders is on—imitatation is spot on!

He only likes his 7 adorable grandchildren—the youngest just turned 40.

Portraying Sanders as a frikken loon...

Wonder when they are going to portray Hillary as Corrupt and Heartless?

That’s because those SNL people are rich, they know that Bernie will go into their bank accounts and snatch 90 percent of their wealth if elected

It is real actor Larry David, not fictional talk-show host Larry Sanders played by actor Gary Shandling. Larry David is great in this role.

Was hoping to see Trump in the cold opening. I thought the Bernie Sanders was kind of lame.

I like that they took a jab at her adjusting her “dialect” when she discussed the South and then the North, going from a Southern drawl to a New Yoik accent.
