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.

Mad TV and In Living Color were 10 times funnier than anything SNL has put out the last 25 years.

“Maybe this is the White House, I haven’t been here since the ‘90s.”

“Oh yeah, I hit my head on the desk.”

Too funny.

It was negative to Bill Clinton. At first it was tacky but it sorta got better.

He’d said he turned down “raunchy’ skits. Maybe he had no say unless he had lines in it.

These two girls are outrageous.

Yeah, the "Whore commercial" was filthy but not the slightest bit funny.

Oh my God. Its over already???? That was the fastest 90 minutes ever. I can’t believe it. I normally have a hard time watching it but tonight was really fast paced. Maybe because I was chatting with you guys too.

I bet you Trump's poll numbers get a nice bump out of this performance.

He was self-deprecating, going along with the fun.

Very charming.

And, you know, people turn their noses up at the "low information voters" who would watch this show regularly. But I'm not so snobbish that I would mind some of them pulling the "R Lever" for President and down ballot, too.
