I mean I was getting close to not watching it anymore but still tuned in every once in a while. As political as they have become, the new comment by one of the writers, and well, it just not being funny anymore, I've heard of people turning it off permanently. I just joined the boat. Will no longer watch it.

Anyone else?

Well considering I have not watched in at least 15 years, I think I am safe

You shouldn't be watching because they suck and have mostly sucked for over a decade outside of the SNL shorts with Samberg, not because of what some writer posted.

Used to eat and breathe SNL.
But it was not funny long before the political shite made it unwatchable.

The writing and casting alone are enough to keep me from watching it. The fact that they are so blatantly one sided is just icing on the cake.

Like is said in another thread, I can accept that it's liberal. But I can't accept the racism against whites.

I'm not watching

I'm also not paying to watch any movie that any of these liberal actors play in.
I vow to illegally bootleg them and not pay for any ticket prices, blue ray or theater ticket

Since the only cast member I have ever heard of is that gross black woman no I guess I don't keep up with it.

You can gauge it's worth by comparing its cast's talents to those of the early cast. Since all I am familiar with is leslie jones that doesn't promote watching the current show.

Mam=ybe millenials just aren't funny.

there seems to be a massive writer problem in entertainment right now.

SNL
Daily Show
Colbert
Wilmore
Smantha B
etc...

There is no clever humor or thought out discussion. I can't find it but someone posted an article the other day that was discussing the difference between the daily show with and without Stewart.

With Stuart, it was clever. Sure, he was left leaning, but he had some unbiased pieces and he was great at debate. Remember when he tore Fox News apart on their own show? He had some very liberal moments, but his pieces were done extremely well. They were researched and fleshed out and usually he explained both sides even if he didnt agree with one. It was a mix of political satire and humor and honest debate.

With Noah, and further expanded to current comedy writers, there is no subtlety or clever edge. It's all just biased liberalism jammed into your throat delivered with an attitude that tells you you are a stupid lesser human if you disagree with the joke teller. Colin Jost's smug arrogance on Weekend Update embodies this.

I always point to that panel on Noah's show that had some dumb frick comedian on and Bill Nye. Bill Nye kept trying to discuss the importance of NASA and the Mars missions and what they could mean to our future, and the fat retard who i think was a writer on Noah's show kept saying "Whats on Mars? Alien porn? You tryna watch Aliens bang?" "What about educatin our chillen? Mars gonna do dat?!"

That's not clever. It isnt funny. It has no merit.

I was blown away by the sheer stupidity and the absolute disrespect and ignorance shown to Bill Nye, the audience and Trevor Noah himself however ate it up and couldnt stop laughing.

In the mid 80's. And it wasn't politics, it just sucked.

Weekend update has become unwatchable. Norm MacDonald must be rolling over in his grave
