It’s not been quite that long. The show was funny in the era of Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo, and again during the tenure of Billy Crystal and Martin Short. With Jon Lovitz, Dennis Miller, and Phil Hartman the show still brought laughs. Later with Mike Meyers, Chris Farley, and Adam Sandler it was still good. From the days of Will Ferrell to the departure of Bill Hader there was still some comedy to be found.
The show has been simply dreadful for about three years now.
I stopped watching this show decades ago shortly after I quit drinking and smoking pot. Watching humans purposely trying to be funny is wasting my sober hours.
Completely agree. The comedy now is mean-spirited.
