For me, SNL was good until windows 95 came out. Win 95 brought the internet, which brought the decline of many cultural factors such as popular music. I bought my first computer in 1996 to see what this internet thing was all about.
Microsoft was behind the curve. They had an ugly primitive ISP called the Microsoft Network that I used. That was confusing and hard to figure out.

The ONLY worthwhile thing about SNL was the Not Ready for Prime Time Players.

I was in college when SNL first aired. That initial crew was the crew. I didn't even like it when they brought Bill Murray on board. I stopped watching when Belushi, Akroyd, Chase, left for a movie career.

The SNL of the 1970s was the best, none of this woke crap, skits on the edge that they wouldn't even think of doing today.

I remember they had Burt Reynolds hosting on one show, and they did a skit on the movie "Deliverance" where Reynolds is in the canoe with two S&M gay guys who heard what happened to Ned Beatty ..."So where arrrre these hillbilly boys at?" LOL Today they would get protests over "gay bias"

If the baby Clark Kent had grown up in Nazi Germany, he’d be known as Uberman. Just ask Jimmie Olstein.

New stuff, like the last 15 years?

There was Gilda. And then there was everybody else.

I tuned in for a glimpse and there was Miley Cyrus murdering Nothing Compares to. You... I couldn't take it. usually these shows turn into such self-reverencial sets that they are unbearable. How was this one in general?

I watched about 10 minutes of it. Painful....not even remotely funny. Maybe I was watching the wrong segments because I saw about 2 seconds of Chevy Chase,5 seconds of Steve Martin and not a single second of Garret Morris,Jane Curtain or Lorraine Newman.

Except for one or two people who came after Akroyd and Belushi SNL stopped being funny after they left.

Bill Murray the best Update host? Gimme a break. “Jane,you ignorant slut!”

[Jim Noble]

SNL’s 50th?

It hasn’t been funny in 45 years, and, although I am well aware that I’m 50 years older than when the show debuted, I don’t enjoy people who were young when I was looking like fossils on live TV.

No thanks.

It was also a thrill to see Bill Murray back. During “Weekend Update” with Colin Jost and Michael Che, Murray, who was behind the desk for two seasons in the 1980s, ranked the best “Update” hosts of all time. He named the late Norm Macdonald, who was eegregiously fired by NBC in 1997 for ruthlessly going after OJ Simpson, No. 2.

Thank you, Bill!

It is nothing but a DNC propaganda tool.

[Chipper]

You can tell what age cohort one belongs to, by the cast of SNL they like. I do like watching YT shorts of Che and Jost doing their Christmas Weekend Update. They write jokes for the other person that they have not seen prior to the live read. Some funny stuff in there.

I remember a bit was when Chevy Chase was doing the news.

He reported that Professor Backwards was stabbed to death in his hotel room as his cries of “Pleh, Pleh” were ignored.

[9YearLurker]

More likely the least bad part...

[TBP]

I wouldn’t know; I haven’t watched SNL in so long that I almost forgot it exists.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

It was not funny. I turned it off when Tom Hanks was MAGA hat wearing racist. Do not insult me and expect to stay tuned in.

[Pennsyltucky Boy]

Who was the not funny guy who did host duties? He was… not so talented in the art of comedy.
