Back in the day SNL produced the biggest comdey stars ( Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, and Kristen Wiig) now they can't produce players that can make good commercials. What happened? What happened to comedy stars?
We live in one of the darkest ages in history. We don't have time for comedy.
>>218958605The limelight shifted to the internet tim and eric eric andre were early onbut shsne gillis and a bunch of the new comedians are coming up via pod casts and shit. only boomers watch cable tv.amd who the fuck watches peacock?Asking why snl isnt popular anymore is the same reason why no one drives manual transmissions anymore. tastes have shifted to streaming services now people watch live shows of kill tony pod casts or fucking the mde fuckboys instead of turning on the tv switching tonantenna and watching snl. i do respect those snl shorts guys for trying to make that god awful camping buddy comedy . perhaps people arent really driven snl actors ca;t be arsed to work any othercjobs except snl becuase putting on a live show every week is kind of nuts. Im also not seeing ` who\e lot of comedy "ovies that fit snls vibe having msjor releases.
>>218958680I think it's because of mass self-obsession. The average person nowadays is a delusional narcissist, you have comedy, where an essential part is taking shots at people, making jokes about their race, the fact that they suck cock, comedy takes pain and turns it into something that can heal and we think we can erase the pain part and just tell jokes that make people feel safe, that don't pop the bubble everyone's trapped in.Maybe comedy will never truly come back but who knows. Also there's no person who is more aware that SNL sucks than Lorne Michaels.
>>218958605Shane Gillis was too "provocative" for them lol. That should tell you all you need to know.
>>218958605>the biggest comdey stars ( Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, and Kristen Wiig)kek
>>218958605>Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, and Kristen WiigNone of these are big stars
>>218958605Same thing that happened to all actors, OP. They forgot how to make them and now we have to settle for the shitty knockoffs.
>>218959025>Also there's no person who is more aware that SNL sucks than Lorne Michaels.If that was true he would have retired 20 seasons ago
>>218958605Some anon was pissed the posts on /tv/ veered off topic as if by OCD compulsion. Looky here, SNL skits now have the punchline of "nooo hamas is bad, you can't use hamas as your band name". Srsly?? When MEDIA is SATURATED with political propaganda, how the hell do you not point it out and REJECT it, lest you become an NPC ingesting any slop dumped in your trough? The end game is you lose the establishment mafia heads win. You lose LESS by not eating their bs.
>>218959222Lorne is pissed NBC forced him off the show over some Chinese jokes (he said in some interview last year he thought it was a big overreaction and was pissed about NBC stepping in over his head to make the call) and they missed out on the new chud comedy superstar. I think that’s why they hired Kam Paterson now he’s from a similar crowd, and he’s the rare chud black guy. Don’t think he’s doing very good on the show though he’s probably too retarded to know how to read and write so he ain’t coming up with no skits l
>>218958605Jane Wickline is gonna be the biggest star out of the current crowd mark my words, her brand of autistic comedy resonates with the kids today because all pf GenZ and Alpha are autistic like her lol
>>218961339Ashley Padilla the new chick with redhead would be a star in the past but the industry is dead and no movies or big shows are made anymore so the new way to be a big SNL star now is just stay on the show for 20 years (they’re all copying Kenan in that regard
>>218958605Some of them used to leave and get late night shows but those are dying now too. That’s why the current weekend update guys been there since like 2013 in the last most weekend update hosts would leave snl to get a talk show
>>218961504I’m sick of those guys on weekend update Michael Che especially that dude sucked since day one, Jost at least is funny as a punching bag
Snl actors only take off if they have characters that take off. maybe its the showmaybe its the zeitgeistbut there arent many 'emirable charactersi know tv always hopes for a david s pumpkins sketch every halloween. the only memorible characters are che and jost and they mostly do weekend update exclusively
>>218961504Why has HBO buried all episodes of DML? That was one of their big shows in the 90s and now it’s as if it never existed, bitch asses need to put it on Max
>>218961339I like Jane she the cute kind of autistic but I get the feeling she gonna troon out like Ellen Page one day
