The most recent SNL, in which Melissa McCarthy lampooned White House press secretary Sean Spicer, nabbed a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49, according to TVLine’s sister site, Variety. As such, the late-night laugher ranked behind only CBS’ The Big Bang Theory as the highest rated program in the demo. These numbers are in line with SNL‘s overall Season 42 viewership — its best since Season 20 — which is up 19 percent in the demo and 22 percent in total viewers over last year.

for the last 8 years they weren't allowed to do any political comedy so that didn't help. Now they have trump and everyone who watches this unfunny bunch of shits wants to see them make fun of him.

On a side note, Ghostbusters was on Starz the other day so I finally gave in a tried to watch it and never even smirked. It was a fricking abortion of a movie. How that piece of shite was green lit and the actresses ever thought there was humor is amazing.

They weren't allowed to make fun of the president. Hilarious bits about the House Majority Leader's comments on H.R. 3701 probably weren't reeling in the masses outside of people who chug Democrat talking points koolaid.

I haven't watched a minute. Not to doubt that there's been some funny stuff, but the most unhinged election ever + social media + a love/hate TV star as Prez can't hurt.

Just call me when cnn fact-checks a skit.

I just did a google search to see if you are telling the truth. You aren't. A skit making fun of Obama being ineffectual and weak was the first thing that came up. Confirmation bias and an inability to handle criticism. That's you. It's very tempting to act like a victim isn't it?

Oh please, write up a full fricking psychological profile you nancy.

I'm sure they've taken some mild soft jabs at Obama not being tough enough on Republicans. I didn't watch every week. The increased political content and one-sidedness is part of why I watched a ton less. The current Weekend Update guys do nothing but lecture and preach without even a pretense to comedy.

The President tweeting about SNL probably helps. But his tweets and prayers aren't saving the Apprentice.

You can't compare Trump to Obama when it comes SNL. Trump is comedy gold, he has given 100x times more material in 6 months than Obama could in 8 years.

I wouldn't expect you to know this, but SNL has actually been on the air since long before Trump was a candidate.

Trump is just extremely easy to make fun of because he's clown shoes.

I mean, what are you going to make fun of Obama for? His eloquence? Not exactly fodder for political satire.

Now, an oompah loompah with a twitter obsession? That's ripe for the picking.

ETA: it's so funny the amount of pussies that downvote any post that tells the truth about Trump's retarded-arse looks.

Trump went on national TV for an interview as the fricking POTUS with an orange face and pink circles around his eyes. He makes it too easy.

Probably because Tina Fey isn't head writer anymore and Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider have written some great skits lately. Bring the downvotes but I like Jost and Che as anchors. Kate McKinnon doing Hillary was hilarious as political skits go and Trump is an easy target.
