i have watched it since i was a kid now at 64 i will not watch it again. i try every week only to turn it off. It is not funny at all. politics and comedy do not mix. Also the music is terrible bring bands back that play. Shame on Loren.
I've just had it with your show (SNL). I'm so tired of the President Trump bashing. He has done more for our country than any president in recent history. I have been watching SNL for so many year's and it's now just gone to shit. I'm done watching......................See ya!!!!!
They went after Trump and lied about him, and basically tried to win the election for Biden. I mean they were basically doing campaign ads for Joe with actors trying to cover up all of Biden's mistakes. Biden gave them what could have been the easiest 4 years of their existence, but they blew him, I mean it. Just confirmed how bad the show has gotten for me. Go woke go broke. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Bring Back Alec Baldwin. America needs this
Angry leftists are not funny, never were. Used to watch every weekend in the 80’s, went to bed early ever since mgt tried grinding political axes v
The show is so sad. Bye bye.
It’s just embarrassing to watch,now, not funny, political bias
SNL will probably be more popular now that Trump is back in the White House. .
I hope they find somebody BETTER than Alec Baldwin to be TRUMP'S Official Impersonator.
I notice you don’t even bother to measure the very audience that watched you from the beginning—my sophomore year in college.
I have fond memories from watching SNL with my parents when I was growing up. We never missed it. I can't bare to watch it now. I feel second-hand embarrassment.
