...attack a current President of the United States, but that day ended with SNL and Richard Nixon.

SNL didn't start until October of 1975, 14 months after Nixon left office.

Well, FDR went on TV to decry the negative portrayal of Nixon on SNL, and told it like it was!

“’...attack a current President of the United States, but that day ended with SNL and Richard Nixon.’

‘SNL didn’t start until October of 1975, 14 months after Nixon left office.’”

I think the point was the days of honor among comedians ended with the beginning of SNL and the end of Nixon.

By the way, didn’t Laugh-In make fun of Nixon?
