The really good seasons of Saturday Night Live wouldn’t survive cancel culture either.
Especially when Michael O’Donoghue was the writer there.
And here is the blow out that made the wokey cancelling possible:

The “woke” are anything but.
“Social” media really should be called “anti social” media.
