Leslie Jones Hopes Comedians and ‘SNL’ Can Move Past Constant Trump Jokes
The Wrap ^ | June 13, 2018 | Brian Welk

Leslie Jones said she hopes that during the next season of “Saturday Night Live,” the show can avoid some of the constant political humor and Trump jokes.

“I hope next year we can do more funnier stuff instead of a lot of political stuff this year, which we had to,” Jones told TheWrap in a phone interview. “There was so much stuff that was happening, there was no way that our show, with the responsibility that we have, would not to cover that stuff. It was just too important. But I do hope that next year will be a lot more funny-funny based stuff, more comedy based stuff instead of a lot of political stuff.”

Jones clarified that there is an important place for political comedians on “SNL,” and the greater comedy world, but stressed that there’s such a thing as too much.

“There should be a stream of comics that come and do that type of comedy, because we do need that. And I love looking at that type of comedy that explains what’s going on and make it funny so you can really realize this is ridiculous,” Jones said. “But there should be more than that as far as funny comics that come and really make you laugh. Like so gut laugh. Comedy is a release just like art and music. All of that is the same thing. You need that release. It can’t always be serious. You need The Three Stooges just as much as you need John Oliver.”

Sorry you're all butt hurt because I think some show has been shit for decades. Here's an idea, get your head out liberal trash TV and get a life.

AMF!

Translation: We ain’t funny no more, the crap is getting old even among our most rabid fans, it ain’t hurting Trump but it is hurting us......maybe we should try to go for real comedy again before the toilet flushes.

“Hey, you forgot Piscopo. His Sinatra was pretty funny.”

Sinatra singing the Woody Woodpecker song was hilarious.
