SNL has no impact on anybody except very bored and in-bred, idiots. In the 1970’s they were funny. It’s been all downhill since then. Just not relevant.
I wish people would stop watching it just to report what these losers lampooned. Who cares what they lampooned? F them.
Notable blips up on the "funny" trend line: The Eddie Murphy years and the Phil Hartman years. For the latter, there were many players who worked well individually and in an ensemble, and who's skits still make me laugh.
