"Saturday Night Live" is "a bad thing for comedians" says journalist Seth Simons. He has a point
Over the nearly 50 years that “Saturday Night Live” has been on the air the headlines it generates take on a certain sameness. James Austin Johnson on "Saturday Night Live" Regarding “SNL” and its political relevance, I think a lot of people have noticed there aren’t a whole lot of teeth there. Since “Saturday Night Live” is such an institution, I wonder if it may consider itself to be somewhat inoculated against that – which also may be the worst thing for its comedy, because it instills the attitude of, “We’ll just ride this out until we find the next great cast.” I think it is immune. Colin Jost and Michael Che on "Saturday Night Live" President Joe Biden went on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” recently to mark its 10th anniversary. But it's hard to convey why people should care about “SNL” as a workplace.... And I think the conversation about someone like Bowen Yang, who's a great comedian and a great actor, shouldn't be, “Oh, I'm so glad to see them on ‘SNL.’” It's, why does he have to do “SNL” to get to do this stuff?
