NBC's Saturday Night Live is electioneering for the Democrats again, opening the October 29 show with a fake PBS NewsHour. That could be a rich target for satire, but they only think it can be mocked as news your grandma watches.
Introducing three Republicans who are running for office this November, fake Judy Woodruff began with Kenan Thompson, who played Herschel Walker, the Senate candidate from Georgia. “Hello, Judas,” he said. “My name is Herschel Walker, Texas Ranger, and I am running for president of the United Airlines.” If you're laughing, you're a Democrat.

Golly, it sometimes seems SNL is biased against conservatives.

SNL hasn't been funny in decades. And their ratings are horrible. I'm worried this is going to stem the tide of the coming red wave. yawn

Liberals always think it funny to project what they do/are on conservatives, but it is not funny, it is pathetic.

To state the obvious, SNL is way past its sell by date. I miss the original Not Ready For Prime Time players.

Good opportunities to poke fun at the Left are just so hard to come by.

Didnt they used to have a comedy show about 40 years ago? One that catered to teenagers and college kids?

The happiest people in the country over the pending MAGA wave are the writers for SNL. They no longer have to censor themselves over the illegitimate Biden administration and can go back to producing racist, ignorant rants about all the Trump "bogeymen" for their low-information, non-voting, adolescent viewers. There will be secret high-fives in the writer's quarters at all the left wing media centers on Wednesday 11/9.

What real comedian would pass up making fun of the stuff the Dems are saying and doing just to make lame jokes about the other side? Last week was especially rich with material, too.

Haven't watched this cr@p -- Saturday Night Lies -- in many years, joining my non-watch list of The (Ultra Left Wing) View, 60 Minutes (of Liberal Propaganda), CNN ("The Most Trusted Name in Fake News), and any of the alphabet alleged national "news" programs. Even local news is difficult to watch these days, since it parrots Dim Party propaganda and nonsense.

Saturday night brain dead is worse now than ever. I have not watched that show for many many years. It used to be funny then they got political and the insults and gutter level crap they put on as being funny comedy was an insult to all that is god and right. They would have thrown a party when Jesus was crucified and helped hold his arms and feet down.

Do they have someone who can stumble around playing China Joe? How about double-talking like Heels-Up Harris? How about Barry Hussein? Or Georgie Soros?
Or is making fun of the purposeful destruction of our once-great nation out of SNL's purview?

SNL is still on TV? I guess Greg Gutfeld is not on Saturday yet.

Although SNL would not ever have been described as any more than insignificantly conservative--Norm McDonald had his moments--during its first two decades (1975-1995), the show had some hilarious skits, leading some cast members to fame and further success. Belushi, Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, Chris Farley, Kevin Nealon, Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, and on and on. There was a lot of talent in the cast, and among the writers back then. Liberals and conservatives laughed. But leftists truly have no sense of humor, and now they see anyone right of center as the enemy. SNL has gone whole hog to the left. Consequently, they are obsolescent and fading away. It's time for them to toss in the towel and go on retirement. Afraid to offend the Hive, they're no longer funny.

Interesting that they didn't use that skit on Fetterman. He would have been a better match/

IMHO, SNL would have been funnier if they had opened with a skit parodying Paul Pelosi and his nudie rump ranger pal in their whitie tighties chasing each other around with hammers. "Ooooh, I'm gonna give you thuch a whack!"

SNL is humorless because liberals have no sense of humor. You can't write funny if you're an ideologue.
