…but came across this (maybe NSFW):
I can’t understand why SNL just doesn’t do stuff like this all the time. You’d think it’d be the easy call, right? And this kind of comedy is not really all that hard to do, either! Anyway. I’ve been going through these for a bit tonight, so hey: enjoy.
This was still fun to watch.
In the process of pretending that there’s nothing at all unseemly about Saturday Night Live doing an infomercial for Hillary Clinton and not reporting it to the FEC as an in-kind contribution, The Daily Beast wrote this:
In the same Live From New York documentary, Lorne Michaels asserted that, “We’re nonpartisan and it’s important we stay nonpartisan.” Maybe that’s true…
It is not true. It is absolutely not. I can live with the infomercials and the way that the show creaks its way along as a mainstream entertainment wing of the ‘New’ Left of its youth*. But at least call them on it, all right? And make SNL just own it.
