Saturday Night Live hasn't been genuinely funny in decades since it began using its time slot to mock conservatives and instead push the Leftist agenda.
This week's cold opening of SNL has come under fire for focusing on GOP lawmaker Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) rather than the controversial testimony of the Ivy League college presidents.

The so-called "comedians" mocked Stefanik's evasive questions and politics instead of targeting the disgraced college presidents who refused to condemn the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
"I am here today because hate speech has no place on college campuses. Hate speech belongs in Congress, on Elon Musk's Twitter, in private dinners with my donors, and public speeches by my work husband Donald Trump," cast member Chloe Troast's Stefanik said in the skit.
The skit focused more on mocking Stefanik than the university president's anti-Semitic remarks.
SNL ridiculed Stefanik for her questioning and was painted as a nagging lawmaker who was trying to score political points by making a fuss out of the president's anti-Jewish stance. The Stefanik character then claimed the universities condemn Islamaphobia and other forms of bigotry.
Last week, GOP House members interrogated the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology about the widespread anti-Jewish hate among students. The presidents stressed the importance of free speech on campus when asked why the schools have tolerated antisemitism. When Stefanik confronted Harvard president Claudine Gay over the chants of "intifada" at student protests, Gay said the calls for violence do not violate the university's code of conduct.
Hours before SNL aired, University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill resigned from her position after accusations that she downplayed the rise of antisemitism on her campus.
All three presidents "were evasive and dismissive, failing to simply condemn such action," according to a letter from the lawmakers. "This should have been an easy and resounding 'yes.'"

politics and antisemitism aside it’s unbelievably transparent
leftists must confront that their heroes are low-IQ diversity hires, not the republicans exposing them
This is no longer satire. This is propaganda
