Not too many “comedy” outlets making fun of the damned “magic negro” huh?
Cause he is a tragic comedy.
GET THE HOOK.

Unless Sarah Palin is going to be on, I’ll probably never see it.

I’ve pretty much made it a practice in recent years only to watch SNL when Sarah Palin is on.

This is what liberal losers do when they can’t win an argument.

Am I going crazy or does something not add up here?

Article date: September 25, 4:14 PM (Friday)

“Last night, Saturday Night Live’s (SNL) Weekend Update touched on...”

Has SNL started airing on Thursdays in Salt Lake City?

They really didnt put much effort into that one.

And real nice of them to still act like cowards when it comes to Mmm Mmmm Bama.

If you cant even take on the guy at the top, why should anyone be impressed when you do a half-assed job going after Beck.

SNL has never been “live,” IIRC.

True, although it was a good impression of Beck’s mannerisms. I say this as a fan of Beck who thinks SNL has gone to hell over the past few years, especially under the gynocracy of Tina Fey (who has since left).

No. It’s a NEW spin off show based on the News Update segment from SNL.

You remember incorrectly. The original show was very much live.

This show—some SNL Update something or other—actually airs on Thursdays.

Only a few times when it hasn’t been live.

There is an SNL-type show on Thursdays now, which is just 30 minutes. It’s likely taped the same day it airs.

But the original 90-minute SNL is generally 100% live on Saturdays. Only a handful of times since 1975 were they on a tape delay (for instance, when Andrew Dice Clay and Richard Pryor hosted they were afraid foul language might slip through).

Our own FReepers are way more hillarious than SNL!!

When not being serious, our FReepers could write a great comedy show that would wipe SNL off the map!!

SNL is so yesteryear. Making fun of a Conservative, how cliche.

Satire only works if the audience knows what it is you're mocking. I'll bet only .087% of them ever heard of this "Glenn Beck".

That’s it?

Weak.

I like good political humor, regardless of the party being needled, but this was just...weak.

BTW, there is a wealth of material in the White House, but the left leaning shows like SNL won’t touch it.

Michelle Obama’s fat ass alone could carry a show for years...

FRTV, great idea! Not that anyone would ever put it on the air, but I’m sure some talented FReepers could get some Youtube videos going or something.

I’ve pretty much made it a practice in recent years only to watch SNL when Sarah Palin is on.

I was a huge fan during SNL's golden age in the Carter years, it was even good in the days of Eddie Murphy. Although, Al Frankin was an unfunny a$$hat even back then. Over the years it's gotten less and less funny

Yeah, me too. I used to look forward to it, SNL and then where I lived they followed with Monty Python which back then I thought was very funny.

What they don't realize is that people will watch this and maybe laugh, and write this off as another stupid SNL skit, but, it gives Glenn Beck more publicity and people who have not seen Glenn Beck's show all the more reason to watch him.

I enjoyed it also. Yes, I know that the MSM hates us, as does SNL, but regardless of our politics, sometimes we have to kick our shoes off and laugh at ourselves. This is funny (and I bet GB is giggling.
