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.

Making SNL funny again is no small order.
I’ll say one thing, the ratings are gonna be yuge!
People put too much stock in comedy shows like SNL. It’s really not that big of deal and neither is SNL. Most of it’s trendy hype and nothing more. I will watch the skit, but that’s about it. Lets hope it’s at least funny.
I’m heading to the Bunny Ranch... Got a deal on the Lamar Odom room.
I’ll be watching.
First time in decades.
YUUUUUUUGE!
anyone know an real-time ONLINE source for the show just tonight...?
:(
you know what Trump should do?? this group is offering $5000 to anyone who yells out “TRUMP IS A RACIST†during SNL. So Trump should make a joke about it during his monologue- have everyone in the audience stand up during the monologue and all yell “TRUMP IS A RACIST†at the same time. Then Trump should demand the group pay everyone in the audience (500 people?) $5000/each!!!
BFL when it’s on.
Brilliant!
I wonder what Trump can see from his front porch?
LOL.
You are black and I am white
You are blind as a bat and I have sight.
Side by side, you are my amigo,
Negro, let’s not fiiiiiiiight!
That would be funny.
Bingo...What happened to all the funny shows? I can honestly say I have not watched SNL in probably 10 years. No talent. And watching narcissistic people straining to be hip and trendy seems to have lost all it’s pop...lol
SNL hasn’t been funny in 20 years.
Yep!
I can just see hordes of SNL audience marching off to each collect
their $5000, while the PAC who offered the money, packs up and gets
out of town quickly with mobs chasing after them for their money.
The low info voters will - sadly name recognition might count if they don’t know anyone’s policies and liking someone based on a TV appearance will count for even more.
