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.

Yeah, I saw that.

Still, my mind jumped to his new “band” he’s amusing himself with on his off time, these.

LOL

It STINKS ON ICE and I thought that it was bad 30 years ago! Little did I know just how bad it could get.

This Sia is godawful! I feel like we’re back in the 60’s with the druggies running the show.

She isn’t a bad singer. I’m not watching her - just listening.

I wonder how SNL stays on the air? I wouldn’t sit up again for it.

I guess I’m getting old. I prefer a singer to stand nest to the piano and just sing.

My guess is the hot ratings for tonight’s show will only serve to remind the “new” viewers why they stopped watching SNL in the first place.

It wasn’t that strong a show.

Not bad shouldn't make you famous.

Trump wears his tie down below his navel. Is that the fashion now??

I was taught that the "tip of the point" at the end of the tie should hit the middle of your belt buckle.

Is that still the way to do it? I hope so, since that's where mine hits.

When I was a Corporate Guy, that’s how I wore my Ties.

I’m over 6’2” and long waisted. Wearing a Tie any shorter didn’t work for me. I had to buy them at a Big and Tall Store.
