A new analysis examining Saturday Night Live's partisan jokes has revealed that the sketch comedy series overwhelmingly pokes fun at conservatives.
A study conducted by NewsBusters, a conservative media research center, provided to the New York Post concluded that 91 percent of jokes during the show's 'Weekend Update' segment targeted conservatives.
Weekend Update is a mockumentary news show hosted by comedians Michael Che and Colin Jost, where they take jabs at the week's significant news stories.
NewsBusters found that the season's first 19 shows included 226 political jokes, with only 18 targeting Democrats and liberals, while three were nonpartisan. Of those political jokes, 101 of them were aimed at Donald Trump.
One of Che's jokes appeared to make fun of assassination attempts on the president. 'President Trump attended the opening night of 'Chicago' at the Kennedy Center, and I think that's cool that the president is going to the theater. I mean, what's the worst that could happen,' he said, referring to Abraham Lincoln's assassination at a theater.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr was the second-most targeted figure, with 14 jokes at his expense.
Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was third with 12 jokes, conservative pundit Tucker Carlson was fourth with 11 jokes and disgraced Representative George Santos was fifth with 10 jokes, according to the study.
