What is happening at SNL? It’s not funny anymore. The premises for most of the skits this season are sophomoric and stilted, and it seems like the writing staff has been taken over by a bunch of high schoolers. The tongue-in-cheek edginess is gone for the time being.
Weekend Update is still OK, but even that doesn’t deliver the same punch. Maybe when enough players leave, the dynamics and chemistry change and it takes a while for the new cast to find their stride? I don’t know, but right now, it’s just a cheap late-night product hardly worth watching.
I really hope they aren’t looking over their shoulder for Trump.
