I wouldn’t know, but hear Saturday Night Live has been unfunny for decades.
Last time I watched I had no grey hairs, the regulars were funny - Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Garrett Morris, etc... even Al Franken (when he was still funny).
I watched maybe one or two in the early ‘80s, but it was obvious as soon as Reagan got elected that humor was no longer the priority. All the funny ones left except Al Franken who stayed but lost his sense of humor.
There were a few exceptions - I liked Dennis Miller, Eddie Murphy, Will Farrell - but they were in plenty of movies so you didn’t have to watch Saturday Night Lecture to see them...
It became kind of obvious after 1980 how Leftist and shrill the program became - they pretty much alienated their entire non-Democrat audience...
That was about when I quit watching it, too, very early 80s. I realized I had watched an entire show without laughing even once.
The Reagan era DID give us that classic sketch with Phil Hartman as President Reagan — all warm and pleasant while meeting with Girl Scouts and such — and then INSTANTLY a tough, conniving control freak once the visitors were out of the way. It’s still a riot. I’ll bet even Reagan got a chuckle out of it.
I miss Phil Hartman. What a tragedy.
