After pressure from the White House, the FCC, and millions of angry fans demanding they stop disrespecting our President to no avail, NBC has finally shut down the lame show Saturday Night Live.
Fist, they canceled last nights live performance in favor of a re-run that barely talked about politics. Then, afterward, Lorne Michaels made the announcement that NBC had ended production and that his show was dead in the water:“I think I blame myself, mostly. When Trump was elected we should have known that the giant man-baby would stomp his feet until the adults stopped making fun of him. He’s a turd and a gift to satire and parody. unfortunately, he’s also a child stuck in a man’s body.”
Michaels has basically sealed his fate with those statements, as Paramount, Universal and Disney have all blacklisted any and all former SNL performers and their characters. According to Press Secretary, Sarah Huckleberry Sanders, the cancellation couldn’t have come soon enough:“The President is thrilled that the fake news NBC has stopped criticizing him and hiding it under the guise of proffering ‘satire.’ Satire has to be funny to every person who sees it otherwise it doesn’t qualify. That’s according to the liberal ‘fact-checker’ Snopes, so go talk to them if you don’t like it.”We asked Snopes for a comment, but they were, unfortunately, too busy bailing the owner out of jail on another charge of hookers and blow that they never answered. It has been well established, however, that they have no sense of humor and should probably stop scamming the public for donations.
None of the actors, directors or producers have any idea what they’re going to do next. Alec Baldwin has already pulled up a stool at Paddy’s in South Boston for the long haul.
While I don't watch Saturday Night live, I have seen the out takes. Yes they are insulting and very disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I would never demand they be taken off the air. Not because I like them, but because I think it is the right of everyone to express political opinion. When free speech is silenced it becomes a dis service to everyone.
How can we on the right complain when we are censored if we are demanding the censorship of the left?
I say let them speak. Everytime they criticize and lampoon Trump and Conservatives they lose the Democrats lose the support of the people, for we see what they truly represent and just how vile and evil they truly are!
If they are truly pulling it from the air it's not because DT caused it to be shut down but rather dismal ratings and the DT narrative is to advance the agenda that Hollyweird has been cramming down our throats since DT was elected. SNL was never high on my watch list and hit my no watch list several years ago when they stopped being funny, to me satirical humor is not a complete assassination of any one persons character.
