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.

According to their feed, the Trump Girls have been invited by his team to attend the next debate.

That should be entertaining!

No, the band didn’t do well. Ironic as they had the old band sketch from an older SNL and it was a riot.

Even The Donald cannot save SNL.

Some things are simply too far gone.

How is this show even still on?

Maybe the writers aren’t as funny anymore. I dunno, the cast isn’t all that bad, but they haven’t got very good material to work with.

Trump on laser harp sketch was kind of lame. Not Trump but the sketch in general.

SNL is a “disaster”. Even Donald Trump can’t save it. Sorry I stayed up to watch. Very disappointed . . . nothing was really funny.

And...stuff like that is why Norm got fired.

Too honest.

There are funny skits. They had one a couple of weeks ago with Bernie Sanders that was hysterical. They’re not consistent though.
