Saturday Night Live

Say goodnight to SNL.

Apolitical comic shreds crime-ridden Big Apple, home of NBC franchise. Comedians can’t be everywhere at once. If something happens in their own backyard, though, those excuses fade away. Ryan Long may be Canadian by birth, but the comedian has lived in New York long enough to state the obvious. It’s more like Escape from New York these days.

NBC's Saturday Night Live aired several jokes in their most recent episode scouring Senate Republicans Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, and nobody expects the "independent fact-checkers" will find "missing context" in the humor. They have punished right-leaning satirists at The Babylon Bee, but liberals get a pass as they pretend Ted Cruz called Ketanji Brown Jackson a pedophile for a week,…

And the hits just keep on coming. One would think that having been humiliated by their coverage – um, make that lack of coverage – of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the liberal media would be just a tad more thoughtful when covering the latest supposed news. That “news,” NewsBusters’ Bill D’Agostino reported, was about a supposed “seven-hour gap in the White House call logs from January 6,…

Hunter Biden's Ukrainian business adventures are rarely mentioned, so it's weird when they pop up on comedy shows -- as a sign of ultraconservative wackiness. On this weekend's Saturday Night Live, the show opened with a skit about the Biden White House seeking out young content providers on TikTok to work with them on debunking Russian propaganda. One girl brought up Hunter and…

A group of urban liberals come face to face with some awkward pandemic truths. Saturday Night Live too often produces propaganda, not satire. The show’s overtly liberal bent has shattered a legacy of mocking the powerful, regardless of party affiliation. For one night, though, the show’s propaganda gave way to something new. You could call it comic therapy. A Feb. 26 sketch featured…

At the end of Monday's edition of The Ingraham Angle on Fox News, host Laura Ingraham mocked Kate McKinnon's just plain-weird impression of her to open the latest Saturday Night Live. The Fox-skewering skit was just the latest proof that SNL is just another late-night "comedy" offering made by liberals for liberals. 

Imagine you're a White House staffer, or even Joe Biden himself. Amidst all the bad political news, you decide to tune into CNN's New Day, assured of some chicken soup for the soul. But, wait a second! They're talking of Democrats "panicked" over Biden's "abysmal," "spectacular, failures." They're rolling an SNL clip mocking Biden over approval ratings so low, they're in "…

The View host Sunny Hostin scolded Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers for criticizing the “woke” left this week. The offended left-wing host claimed the term shouldn’t be mocked because being woke was actually a virtue.

On Monday, CNSNews Editor Craig Bannister reported on how “Saturday Night Live’s celebration of abortion is being cheered by liberal media as a hit with viewers.” After noting how a 2018 Netflix show was cancelled after far-left comedian Michelle Wolf featured a “Salute to Abortion,” he pointed out how “this past weekend, a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring a ‘clown’…

Far left NBC show can't avoid what we're all seeing from the Commander in Chief. Saturday Night Live is still pulling its punches when it comes to the President of the United States. We’ve watched the sketch series sugar coat the first nine months of Joe Biden’s administration, a stark contrast to how SNL treated the previous White House dweller. Not last weekend.

Is Cancel Culture hurting comedy?

Ask anyone who consumes right-leaning media (or has an open mind), and the answer is a swift and assured, “Absolutely.” Try creating comedy when the wrong joke or punch line can threaten your gig, if not your entire career. Even past jokes, especially past jokes, can turn a dream job into a missed opportunity.

At a certain point even Hollywood people recognize that the progressivism and wokeness their industry worships will end each of their careers. 

Memorial Day is a solemn remembrance of the U.S. service members who died defending America and American freedoms. But this Memorial Day, we should ask if those honored dead would recognize the military in which they served.
