“Saturday Night Live“And I have something in common. Both, somehow, somehow, now 50 years. On Sunday night, players not ready for schedule schedules are ready to organize a birthday party (for the show, unfortunately, unfortunately Not for me), live from New York.
With five decades of circulating the sun comes the desire to reflect on the past, what worked and what does not. For SNL, and the Night Comedy of TV television, which has absolutely not worked is its relatively recent and hacked gift to the wokeness.

The problem began around the change of the century when flexible social stenosis of political correction is metastasis in the cold hard rules of Wokenerity. In other words, the age of “that is not funny” was introduced.
What this meant for SNL, as well as “The Tonight Show” and others, was a kind of self -censorship that is completely anathema for comedy, as well as the strange notion that the main objective of a joke is not to cause laughter, but to Make society better, or something.

In the case of SNL, the program has not only been censored in the 21st century, but has censored its own past. The best example of this is that NBC Universal has banned the video of a 1977 classic sketch with the original black cast Garret Morris and the black lighter and lighter leather activist Julian Bond.
In the BIT, Bond is played in an interview program talking about how intellectual coefficients are racially biased. Asked for an example of a biased question, Bond says: “Ask one: the officer of his fiduciary fund has invited him to look for cocktails. The cocktails begin at 4:30, but it must appear at 6 o’clock in a formal dinner in the formal dinner in the yacht club.

The whole matter is funny, but the reason why it has been scrubbing the existence is the final phrase, in which Morris asks where the black intellectual inferiority of inferiority and bond comes from, he says that it is because blacks of clear skin They are smarter than dark skin black.
Decades later, Bond would say that the sketch made him feel uncomfortable, and added: “I thought it was dangerously in the thin line between comedy and bad taste”, but honestly, and what? The obvious point of the tip line is that it is ridiculous to judge the intelligence of a person based on skin color.

This is a perfect example of Wake’s attitude that has drowned most of the night television comedy. Instead of an abrasive abrasive comic vision, progressive shibbolets on bad orange man and vaccines well.
When we look at the most fun and successful comedians of the last 25 years, they tend to be the people willing to transgress in a supposed good taste. Boys like Dave Chappelle, Norm Macdonald, Ricky Gervais and more recently, Shane Gillis, have been in hot water about the so -called offensive material.
In the case of “Saturday Night Live”, there have been some signs that things are changing, despite the decision of the bones of producer Lorne Michaels to make his word again and give an appearance to Kamala Harris a few days before The elections, a farm that was not. It even arrives through the scrimmage line.

A recent sketch in which President Donald Trump is represented by mocking Hamilton’s superstar, Lin Manuel Miranda, is a good example of a playful touch that would have been almost impossible four years ago, maybe even four months ago.
Unfortunately, you can’t say the same as the Jimmy Kimmels and Seth Meyers of the world whose night obsession of Trump’s abusing has become everything they do. As Johnny Carson once said while roasting Don Rickles, “Don is a great comedian. I love his joke.”
