Trump has given SNL a whole new lease on life. He was the best gift they could have ever gotten. Ratings are up, and we are talking about them, so that tells you something.

Uhm! Let me think... must be a lalaland issue if a snow flake! MAGA
Despite your insults and obvious disregard for facts, I'll give it another go.

It seems that you are unable to grasp that the changes Trump and the Republicans support are ones that progressives oppose.

We oppose leaving 24 million of our neighbors without meaningful access to health insurance in order to give the top 2% a tax break.

We oppose allowing coal companies to pollute the water.

We oppose having a corporate shill on the Supreme Court.

We oppose giving a Russian/Turkish spy access to our national security secrets.

This is what happened under Obama and would have with Hillary also.

Millions still did not have coverage with Obamacare and the Bush tax cuts remained in place.

Damn Hillary anyway for being so utterly careless.

The right seems obsessed with weight right now which is ironic given Trump and his belly fat.
Umm --She is heavy set. There is Nothing wrong with that. That's what impersonators do- look like the people they portray. I thought of all 3, she was most favorably portrayed and looked just like her.

That being said, I was not a fan of the 20 minutes of the show last night. Even with the debacle this week that has been 45, I thought it was tasteless and not humorous.

Watching the real politics with cry babies, whiners on the left is way more funny to watch!

I never expected the left to be such a losers and bad losers.

We will enjoy another great MAGA!
I don't think they will. The ratings are so high that they're broadcasting twice on the West Coast, including an actually live broadcast.

That said, the show was a solid 7.5/10 last night.

Was there any iconic skits, or was it the usual fare?

Sanders is fat. Your own dear leader is a tub-o-lard, so what's the issue?

It was pretty standard-form.

But t didn't have the long stretches of boring material like the show often does.

The iconic skit of the night was probably the Spicer/Sanders skit.

This morning I saw an interview with Mike Huckabee regarding SNL making fun of his beautiful and smart daughter who now and then is the WH spokes person when Sean Spicer is on duty with the Navy.

A fat SNL person portrayed Mike's daughter who did an excellent job earlier this week and gave reporters a clear message by not taking all their bull****.
Sean Spicer was of course again made a fool off and it comes to a point that it is no longer funny but shows the lack of talent and material these left wing so called comedians have.
The level of talent of these comedians is just as low as their writers as the real White House briefing is getting way more viewers than SNL once had!
Actually when you think about political briefings more entertaining than a comedy program, that says enough how low and bad the SNL has become.
I'm even posting the link so google I yourself if you want to waste your time in it or better watch the real talents giving the lame stream media a run for their money!
If one is going to go out in front of cameras and lie for the president (a minister's daughter, at that), one is going to be the subject of satire. Suck it up Mr. Huckabee--you've insulted others, so really cannot criticize.

Trump has loudly and publicly called women 'fat pigs.' Did Mr. Huckabee or any of the Trump following object to that?

Why is it ok to vote for a crude boor who is dead serious when insulting people, but a comedy/satire show is not supposed to do it?

Hypocrisy much?

I would say to just not pay any attention to them. Again, "a certain demographic" enjoys such a show.

So you are not a part of the demographic that watches the show, but you know that the people of that particular demographic are "generally miserable people that hate the world."

that sounds like something Church Lady would have said.
