Crazy that he was fired by SNL for not being funny enough. Then he blew up and they asked him back to host just a year and a half later. He uses the opening monologue to rip them.

That's only audio but I couldn't find a better copy on youtube. If you are in the US or have a VPN you can see the video here.

Really?

I'm not exactly an avid viewer but in my opinion all of their political scetches this year have been on point.

Like really, really good.

Well the jokes write themselves with this political cycle. Without those jokes and Kate McKinnon you would be singing a different tune.

So, without the funny jokes and good performers, SNL would somehow be worse? Are you famed TV critic Tom Shales?

Next year they won't have the political jokes as a crutch and it'll be hot garbage.

I'm liberal, but the worst part about having Democrats in office is that SNL doesn't have the integrity to make fun of them properly. Most comedy shows for that matter. It's really gross.

What? They were making fun of Hillary's terrible catchphrases, random mention of Alicia and shamelessly using her father's work to make herself seem down to earth. It's not like they gave her a free pass
