It hasn't been worth watching for 48 years. The show has been a vehicle for leftist indoctrination and societal decay since its first episode.
Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Victoria Jackson, Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz were very good in the late 80s/early 90s. Not at all political. Jon Lovitz playing Satan getting sued in the People's Court skits were absolutely hilarious

Yes, it has been a vehicle for leftist indoctrination. But like Norman Lear was upset that Archie Bunker was popular and many liked his wisdom, some SNL skits had contra currents. There were some who liked SNL’s “Ex-Police” bashing drug users to death and then saying, “Another drug-related death”. But there were always lots of sewer in SNL for every funny skit.
I will never forget the first time I saw that dreck.
The station(KVOO 2 Tulsa) always had Fantastic Theater on Saturday nights. Horror and Si-Fi!
I sat down, in 1975, with my soda pop and popcorn and instead some voice comes on yelling..”LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!”
Where is my sifi movie? I watched that dreck hoping they would have the movie on afterward. Nope. Never voluntarily watched it again.
Last time I was that upset was when I had to set through Playboy Penthouse back in 1961, before the Si-fi movie came on.
It was funny in the early to mid 90’s.
