While growing up, I used to watch Saturday Night Live every Saturday night without fail. These were the golden days of SNL with Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Phil Hartman, Bill Murray, Chris Farley, David Spade, and others. Unfortunately, Saturday Night Live just is not funny anymore.

The last time that Saturday Night Live was actually funny on a consistent basis was back in 2000 when Will Ferrell was on the show, and even then the only thing really funny about the show were the skits that Will Ferrell was in. Honestly, if there was something – ANYTHING funny about Saturday Night Live, I might grit my teeth and bear the many unpleasant moments of the show to see another “Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood”, with Eddie Murphy. Unfortunately, good SNL skits like these are a thing of the past.

We tried giving SNL many chances to be funny over the years, but usually ended up turning off the show after the liberal jackasses immediately begin attacking conservatives, which seemed to happen without fail every Sat night.

Now we learn why SNL has been so bad for so long. Lazy and untalented SNL writers apparently feel that it is easier to attack conservatives because “Democrats tend to take it personally – Republicans think it’s funny”. Really?? I would bet that most conservatives don’t find Saturday Night Live funny at all.

That’s kind of like SNL and other “comedy shows” leaving other religions untouched, while attacking Christians at every opportunity. The writers not only take the path of least resistance, attacking conservatives, but SNL writers are also all liberals, and they don’t want to make fun of themselves.

Maybe if Lorne Michaels would pull his head out of his ass and put some good writers on his show, not just untalented liberals, SNL might be funny again, but I definitely will not be holding my breath, and won’t be tuning in to find out.

In an interview with Vulture.com, Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels concedes that mocking Republicans is easier than going after Democrats.

“Republicans are easier for us than Democrats,” says Michaels. “Democrats tend to take it personally; Republicans think it’s funny.”

Are there any basic rules for what works and what doesn’t politically?
Republicans are easier for us than Democrats. Democrats tend to take it personally; Republicans think it’s funny. But we’re not sitting here every week going, “We’ve really got to do the First Family.” This week, our cold open is about three big stories. We have Piers Morgan interviewing A-Rod, Chris Christie, and Justin Bieber. We’re doing more of that kind of thing than stuff about Benghazi or the new budget agreement. The country has lost interest in it. I can’t tell you why. It’s no less important, but in some way you can’t do health care more than twice, at which point there’s just nothing left. But Jay Pharoah does a really good Obama.

Michaels also says it’s hard to know whether a show will be good. The interviewer asks, “At what point during the week do you know whether an episode of Saturday Night Live is going to be good or bad?”

“You don’t. If it goes well at the Monday meeting, where the writers and cast are meeting the host and telling their ideas, then it may dip when we actually read the pieces. Sometimes we have a very bad read-through, but that just means people are made more alert that new stuff has to be generated. Just before Christmas, we didn’t have a cold open when Kristen Wiig made the mistake of coming by to say hello on Friday night. I went downstairs, got a haircut, and by the time I came back fifteen minutes later they had the Sound of Music sketch. And that was the opening of that week’s show,” Michaels responds.
