I happened to catch the news spoof segment. It wasn't funny, and was downright ( to coin an overused liberal phrase ) mean-spirited.
I switched off the TV.
I happened to see George Carlin a month ago on TV, and I was sort of surprised to see that he really isn't funny any more. He's just a mean, foul-mouthed Marxism-spewing old man. And I'm not particularly prudish about language. I've over-used my quota of swear words more than once.
