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.

Someone mentioned this on another article but at the Start of the show Trump should say I am going to make each of you richer. On the count of three yell racist. We will take each of your names and give it to.... I would love to see the hateful group payoff!

Good to see you posting. The attacks on you this afternoon were vicious and unwarranted, especially coming from the supposed righteous supporters of Gentle Ben.

Trump ought to announce to the audience that he wants everyone to shout Trump is a racist because he would like to see them all get 5,000.00 each tonight. If there are only even 100 people it would cost that ashhat group half a million dollars. Donald could then have the last laugh on them. Probably would even pick up a few supporters in the process.

“Good to see you posting. The attacks on you this afternoon were vicious and unwarranted, especially coming from the supposed righteous supporters of Gentle Ben.”

I’m sorry to hear if that! I didn’t see too many Carson fans here before, but posters seem to go nuts against Trump and become quite irrational. I’ve been attacked, insulted, belittled by Cruz supporters daily here.

It just makes me dig in my heels and back Trump even more. Glad you didn’t let them get to you!

How about if Trump does a King Tut skit?

I agree with you. Those attacks were over the top. I am glad she is still posting.

Making SNL funny again is what everyone wants in a President.

Trump may already have thought of that . It would make a mockery of the real protesters.

I hope I can stay awake until SNL starts and then I think I’ll be A-OKay.

This had better NOT be a sham or dirty trick set up to backfire on Mr. Trump.

I know, I know, he’s too smart to permit that to happen.

I truly CANNOT remember the last time I viewed this libtard show ...

Some of those were not really Carson supporters. Some were Cruzers who just hate Trump. LOL

That would be better than Obama I might add. I would rather laugh so I can quit crying.

You do know that the rules that go along with the $5,000 limit it to a total of $5,000?

If more than one qualifies, the money is divided pro-rata.

I second that Captain. the attacks were cheap, and as Shakespeare said, "they protest too much". Besides ;) the pyramids need to be explained and the Carson folks seem sensitive:


Of course this letter is fantasy, but people take stuff too seriously, and we need to laugh more. That is why I am glad The Donald is doing SNL.
