Jost’s mother is New York municipal royalty. Kerry Kelly is the chief medical officer for the city’s fire department, and thus responsible for monitoring the mounting health care problems of first responders at Ground Zero. [...] Che’s full name is Michael Che Campbell (the middle name is for South American revolutionary Che Guevara). He grew up plenty poor in the Al Smith projects, a thicket of dun brick buildings jammed between City Hall and the East River.

Not really buying it, TBH.

Way to live up to your hashtags, guys.

I mean, christ, you're selling out for a stick of Trident. Fucking try harder.

It's some both-sides nonsense that reaches pretty hard. Does offer an insight into why Weekend Update isn't funny or insightful though.

The latest trend I've seen on the Sociable Medias is Bernie or Busters and Trumpets tooting about how Hillary will inevitably start WWIII.

A lot of people — in media, running SNL, etc. — seem like they want to make sure not to erase the perspectives of people who hate both candidates.

But somehow it's as if they're erasing the perspectives of all the people who might be affected by this election.

Funny, that. Funnier than SNL actually.

I guess, upon reflection, it really had been a while since there was an "SNL sucks" thread on the Blue.

Can a thread shitting on U2 be far behind?

Aw, the Lampoon hasn't been the linchpin of SNL for decades.
