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.

I really want a parody of the last debate.

With Trump playing the role of Harwood.

i started watching late and at about 12:15 or so after 40 minutes of ads on a free website. the news guys were so bad the black guy was obviously reading the cue cards. good bye snl. glad i don’t have tv. and the other skit with the tweets was just weird. our country needs a major catastrophe to purge this stuff. i might go for increasing muslimes immigration and bulk up. let them take all the pisants that watch, produce and create this crap out. /end rant

Jeeze...

Now I remember why I stopped watching SNL a couple of decades ago.

If I wanted to watch spitefulness and hate wrapped in the cloak of a “Fake” news show, I’ll watch the Daily Show.
They have better writers....
