How much is SNL going to influence the election?

Probably not much given SNL’s viewership is predominately liberal and they are going to vote for Kamala anyway.

SNL knows that so it’s “safe” for them to mock her right now. But I am still amazed they did this. I am guessing they see “shock value” in mocking Kamala. They want to boost viewership and are trying to get conservatives and moderates to start watching their show again.

Honestly I miss the good ole days where SNL didn’t care about having an agenda and just made good comedy. Here is the best presidential mock debate skit they ever did way back in 1992. This was back when SNL was actually funny.

Note: for some reason I had trouble finding this one on YouTube. Surprises me because it was one of the most famous presidential debate parodies SNL ever came up with.

I think SNL's effect is primarily on young people who tend not to vote.

snl. wow. 50 years of liberal influence. i gave it a chance actually and i was surprised by the first episode 50x01. it didn't take sides finally. i can't say much after that. i haven't watched another ep. i might because the election bits were funny.

[Sevenpointfive]

okay. don't watch the second episode. it was back to the same ole unfunny liberal shtick

Does anyone still watch this? It hasn't been funny since John Belushi died.

Cable TV is irrelevant.

Nobody watches anymore.

It shouldn't at all but I'm sure it will.

They have no effect at all on the election

I stopped watching 30 years ago. It is not funny.

[msc545]
