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.

For Trump it is no more than getting market share.

There are millions of voters who are part of the SNL market and this is Trump’s way of reaching them and getting more voters.

Trump has said many times that the name of the game is about ratings. Ratings go up the more people you reach. This SNL thing is all about reaching more market share.

Hillary knows that too.

Trump is stomping wherever Hillary goes. He is competing head to head.

Maybe she’s like Jewel [who can acually sing] and is worried it might affect her voice.

Such as it is.

:)

Follow her! I do!

She doesnt tweet a lot (Eric Trump tweets a bunch—I’m following him now too). I’m pretty impressed by the family. Ivanka tweeted the cutest photo to announce baby number 3!

Curb your Enthusiasm was David’s Show on HBO.

It was hilarious because it played off his Phobias.

Larry was George Costanza before there was a George Costanza. Seinfeld made him a wealthy man.

He is a Lib and his Ex Wife is a nut, but I think he is a funny guy. Yes, he does a great Bernie Sanders.

To: yoe

it started at 10:30 for us. You didn’t miss anything. This is some of the worst writing that I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

The cast and Trump are trying, but you can’t save this crap.

Now I remember why I haven’t watched SNL for 20 years.

I lurked on her feed a bit. It's very nice, but I don't think there's much there that would interest me.

However, I am now following his Senior Advisor and his Campaign Manager.

I'm not really sure why, other than their feeds were lively and interesting. I haven't made up my mind yet as to who I will support, but I REALLY like the way Trump is banging heads in the Republican Party... and outside of it.

I'm a conservative, but that doesn't mean I'm complacent.

I hear ya...I’m not complacent either. We need (dare I say it) “yuuuuuge” changes to save our country. Trump is on my very short list of who I believe can do that job.
