11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. If this guy can make this show funny, making America great again will be a snap.
If heâs smart, and he is, 80 percent of the jokes will be at his own expense. The intrigue lies with the other 20 percent. How nasty will he and the cast get with his competition? Tonightâs an unusual opportunity for Trump to humiliate the other candidates in front of a big audience, if SNL is willing to play along. A cutting joke about Carson or Bush or Rubio will become a prism through which some low-information voters view them going forward, just as Trumpâs own âlow energyâ putdown of Jeb ended up sticking to him. Thatâs a big subplot tonight: How eager will the mostly liberal SNL writers be to help Trump score points against the rest of the field?
The other big subplot is whether anyone will disrupt the show. That dopey PAC that made the ad of little kids cursing at Trump over immigration has been publicizing a $5,000 reward for any audience member who shouts âTrump is a racistâ while the broadcast is in progress. Iâve even seen speculation on social media that the cast itself might double-cross Trump somehow by doing something to humiliate him because of his politics. Iâll believe that when I see it, but this gets to the special intrigue of Trump appearing on this show of all shows: You never know whatâll come out of his mouth and you never know what might go wrong on live TV. Anything can happen.

Here’s a link to that SNL ratings information from last night.
That describes for me. Television mocked, demeaned and discredited white folk one too many times. I wised up about 20 years ago. They literally mocked this viewer right out of their ratings game.
Same here. Left cable just under three years ago, and haven’t looked back.
I do watch HULU, Netflix, Amazon, and have iTunes movies though, so I’m see viewing content.
I’m a lot more selective now. Well, sort of... LOL
I watch some pretty rank stuff, but almost everything out now is rank. Some of the shows I refuse to watch it’s so bad.
Others that are also bad, I do, so I’m not a paragon of virtue on this matter.
“Sia means âbroken â in Thai’
In Texan, it ‘means be seeing you.’
I watch internet cable only.
TV ucks.
Yes, it ucks big-time.
Good analysis.
I think everybody remembers the funny bits, and forgets about the suck. I don't watch SNL much anymore, but there is some funny stuff on it still. And there is some that is bad.
I saw a bunch of bad reviews of the Trump show in the media. I didn't watch live, but watched on the DVR after I had read the reviews. I laughed out loud at several points in the show. The cold open of MSNBC (with no Trump) was pretty darn funny, and took some solid shots at Hillary and Bernie.
I watch very infrequently. One show in particular sticks in my mind. I watched the whole show and it was probably the worst comedy related television I have every watched. It didn’t produce one laugh. It did produce plenty of groan moments and downright insulting moments.
I watched in the old days, and yes there were some bad skits too, so I get your point. The overall shows were far beyond today’s SNL. Laughable skits in the 80s were 75-80%. Laughable skits today are more like 20-25%. The show I mentioned, it was seriously 0.00%.
what r u saying
I’m saying you’re a moron.
