It's about to be wrap city for Saturday Night Live

[boskey]

I'm calling it now. Gotta feeling the show won't last too much longer after this Donald Trump fiasco.

The move doesn't even make sense...NBC kicked him off the Apprentice for racist comments, then SNL picks him up to be the host. He's still a racist right?

And its not like Trump is a new media phenomenon like Sarah Palin, he's been the same guy for 30 years now. He couldve hosted at any point from 1987 to 2015 and nobody would care or watch. But now that he's the most prominent racist in the country they feel he deserves to host. Such an obvious out of touch jump the shark moment...unless they plan on catering the show to senior citizens from the midwest there are no real benefits to this

Also its averaged about 2 funny skits a month for the past 15 years. shyt has been trash. And people are gonna start saying it out loud now...

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Nah

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

That Show MIGHT End Like 5 Years After Lorne's Death

Controversy sales. It might hurt their reputation for a period but they've withstood worse. The people who don't like him will probably watch to see him make an ass of himself and the people who do like him will watch to see their hero. I'm against them making the move to have him on the show but I understand it.

I won't be watching. There's a UFC card on and even if there wasn't, I'd rather watch paint dry.

Controversy sells but it also reeks of desperation

Of course. Doesn't mean they're finished tho. When Lorne kicks the bucket maybe then but as long as he's still alive and they still do ok ratings and remain a part of the cultural zeitgeist, the show goes on

SNL always goes through phases where it sucks, they just need better cast members

Also, @Boesky, I believe Trump has hosted before in the past (in reference to the below)

He couldve hosted at any point from 1987 to 2015 and nobody would care or watch. But now that he's the most prominent racist in the country they feel he deserves to host. Such an obvious out of touch jump the shark moment..

 

[RajWatts]

Yeah Trump hosted in 2004.

 

[dish lowry]

i despise trump as a candidate, but the guy's pretty funny sometimes...he's like an arrogant 80s wrestling character (reminds me of bobby heenan)....havent seen snl in like 10 years but i'll be watching
