IF Cruz were nominated SNL and every other comedy show would have a Treasure Trove of insanity to work with. They would decimate Cruz’s lunatic Fringe Daddy, and Teddy’s ‘Seventh King” lunacy.
SNL makes hay with whatever is available. I wouldn't use "SNL fodder" as a disqualifier. They all have enough material to work with.
