(2,334 posts)6. It was Trump sort of talking about the indictment
The guy who does Trump does not do it well. And there was nothing funny in what he did.

(46,347 posts)4. I stopped watching SNL decades ago.
It just isn't funny anymore.
I loved Hans Und Franz, Wayne's World, but nowadays? Fooey.

(2,334 posts)7. It is stioll funny sometimes. And sometime the cold open is good.
And Weekend update is almost always good. Though half-and-half last night.

(46,190 posts)5. I attended an interview with an original SNL writer, Alan Zweibel.
He said that the MO of SNL back in those days was they'd try to make each other laugh. If they laughed, it went into the show.
I don't believe the writers laughed last week.

(417 posts)8. The Travis Kelce Episode was funny
But most of them are just okay. I usually only watch it until weekend update, but I rarely stay awake that long. I'm sleeping almost as soon as my head hits the pillow
