Hasn’t been funny in years. I love sketch comedy, but not political, one sided, stuff. Everyday observations put into a comedic scene. That’s the stuff I like, but ee stopped making fun of ourselves and became boring.
Again, the fact that SNL has been political biased against the Republicans for years and the fact that most of the show is not funny is the real reason they are losing money.
I used to love SNL when it started. I haven’t watched it in the last 15 years, maybe more. A catch a clip on youtube here and there and most of them suck.
“Costs 4 million an episode”...
They aren’t getting their money’s worth, and haven’t for a very long time.
Used to be true. The last big star to come out of there is probably Adam Sandler. There have been a lot of successful supporting actors, but not many who could carry an entire movie.
Last time I watched must have been when it was GWB as president because all I can remember was Dana Carvey’s Bush impressions. It was a funny show. Sure they all did politics but there was no cruelty in it (except for that jerk Chevy Chase with Ford). I saw some clips on yourtube that were kind of funny with Celebrity Jeopardy with the execrable Will Farrell as Alex Trebek. Anything else that makes it to blogs or sites I read with the current cast since Trump has been just horrible.
BUT, let them burn through their money. One less dollar for democrat party agitprop.
Built their own coffin. Too bad. Many like me never missed a show for the first 30 years. When they made a hard left turn, I never looked back.
“SNL remains a cultural zenith that attracts the most elite of A-list celebrities to guest host and perform musical acts.”
