SNL Goes Full-Blown Woke
townhall.com ^ | 9/17/2022 1145 hrs edt | Sarah Arnold

Once upon a time comedy was meant to make you laugh by poking fun at real life things. Things that may offend, and while most people laughed it off, it has become blasphemy to even consider talking about such things in today’s woke society. “Wokeness” has started to creep into the world by extreme Leftists, and real comedy has become a thing of the past.

Saturday Night Live is a prime example, and if you thought it couldn’t get anymore woke, think again.

The show added its first ever nonbinary cast member to the lineup who will make regular appearances every weekend.

Actor Molly Kearney will join SNL for its 48th season, meaning it’s time to say goodbye to the show we once knew.

Kearney rejects the gender “binary” and does not identify as a man nor a woman, but instead opts for gender-neutral pronouns instead.

This comes after a mass exodus of actors who were longtime characters on the show left. Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney have all decided to move on, however it is unclear why they decided to go.

From Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump to Jim Carey’s Joe Biden, almost every show has someone impersonating a political figure, usually aimed at bashing the Right.

Uh, Sarah, maybe you're to young to realize that 'snl' has been woke and VERY un-funny for decades now.

There are lots of people doing much better sketch comedy with almost no budget at all on other platforms. SNL is part of the dying media.

Lordy, child. That show has been GONE for decades. They literally existed for 4 years on ONE joke (as did every comedian and latenight show host): “Orange Man Bad.”

“...it’s time to say goodbye to the show we once knew.”

I did that when the Belushi, Akroyd, Chase, Murray, Radner era ended.

What’s funny is that now most of the cast members from the late 80s/early 90s are conservatives: Dennis Miller, Victoria Jackson, Jim Brewer, Jon Lovitz, and Rob Schneider.

Who cares?

The last time anyone I know watched SNL was sometime back in the 1980s.

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.

They had one funny skit years ago with the talking Trump-dog.

Agree
But there were some funny Jeopardies with fake Sean Connery
And Kenan Thompson’s Black Jeopardy.
I watch them on Youtube.
Don’t watch the entire show

And Norm MacDonald on Weekend Update was great. LOL, but it’s clear why they fired him.

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

Really tired of a minority of people in NY and CA dictating to flyover country.
