“Saturday Night Live” Ratings Collapse to LOWEST in Over a Decade As Show Pairs “Family Favorite” Maya Rudolph With Unknown Musical Guest Jack Harlow
Showbiz 411 ^ | 3/28/2021 | Roger Friedman

Maya Rudolph is brilliant, but the general “SNL” audience considers her part of the family and not a guest host.

Jack Harlow is unknown to just about everyone as a white rapper, and isn’t a draw.

These are the lessons learned from last night’s show as “SNL” had the lowest recorded ratings in over a decade. Going back to 2009 you can’t find a 3.6 million rating. But that’s what happened as Rudolph — albeit wonderful– hosted, and Harlow performed.

The show lost 500,000 viewers from its last airing on February 27th. Post-election, “SNL” has been averaging around 4.1 million.

The season high was 9.1 million on the Saturday after the election, and the numbers stayed around 6 million for three more weeks. But then reality set in: Alec Baldwin as Trump was gone. Trump himself was gone, and with him all acerbic political bashing. The resistance was done. “SNL” suddenly lacked a purpose. It went from being appointment viewing to a pedestrian experience. The fans tuned out.

Maya Rudolf, whoever the heck that is may be brilliant, but SNL sucks so bad not even Chevy Chase imitating Biden crashing down the stairs could revive their ratings!

‘Hey did you all catch my press conference, it was so easy. A lot of critics thought I wasn’t mentally prepared enough but I think I proved them all wrong.’

That is some crppy writing there.

Nobody talks like that. Least of all the terminally addled Pedo Joe.

Not sure if the writers are lazy, or merely being fatuous.

That bunch would vibrate uncontrollably if they were given a script mocking the corrupt, demented Biden or the lowlifes he is appointing. The leftist Roberts family controls Comcast and NBC. There will be no such comedy permitted.

Good.
Remember when “Weekend Update” used to be funny, instead of 2 smug Commies sneering at ordinary Americans?

This has got to be tough for the liberals who run Saturday Night Live.

Without the hated Trump to make fun of, they have limited political targets for their biased lampooning.

They can’t make fun of Biden, because he’s their guy. They can’t make fun of Kamala because she’s their gal and it would be racist/sexist, etc. to poke fun at her anyway.

Frankly, the mindset that thinks it’s funny that President Ford stumbled on the steps of Air Force One does not think it’s funny when one of their own has a similar incident.

I stopped watching Saturday Night Live when Dan Akroyd and John Belushi left.

They quit being funny quite a while, decades, ago.

SNL turned itself into full blown libtard propaganda under the veneer of comedy.

What makes Maya Rudolph (who?) brilliant?

Serious question.

Can she read Q cards better than anybody else? Hit her mark on stage like a champ? Make funny faces when she talks? Contort her body and trip over a coffee table and fall down?

We used to call people like that clowns, and they were in the circus.

I'd just like to know what's brilliant about her. I might want to borrow her and have her split an atom for me.

I was going to ask what race or nationality is Maya Rudolph, but I think it would be more appropriate to ask what species.

Here we have a picture of Michael Jackson recovering from his burns in the hospital, but don't let the picture of Shirley Temple fool you. Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile.

Magic Johnson just came out with a book titled "How Not to get AIDS". The first chapter: "Don't have sex with me."

Begin to watch an Adam Sandler movie.

Before becoming bored to tears if you see a "woman" that makes you think that maybe it would be a good thing to be celibate, then that's Maya Rudolph.

Could it be that people are walking away from the news and crap like this?

EVERYONE knows who Jack Harlow is.

Well at least the beautiful people know who Jack Harlow is.
