“Saturday night live“And I have something in common. We are both, somehow, now 50 years old. On Sunday night, the players are not ready to premiere for the premiere of the birthday party (for the show, unfortunately not for me), live from New York.
With the five decades of the sun’s circulation comes the desire to think about the past, which has succeeded and what is not. For SNL and late night comedies TV, which absolutely failed, is their relatively recent, Hackney lowered to Wockeness.

The problem began at the turn of the century when the flexible social striking of political correctness metastasized into cold hard rules of insolence. In other words, the time has been introduced “this is not funny.”
What did this mean for SNL, as well as “The Tonight Show” and others, was a kind of self -censorship that is a completely antem of comedy, as well as a bizarre idea that the main goal of joke is that it has not caused laughter, but to make a company better, or something Similarly.

In the case of SNL, not only did the show censor in the 21st century, but it censored her past. The best example of this is that NBC Universal banned the 1977 classic Scythian videos of the original member of the Black Cast Garret Morris and the Black Activist and Gost-Gost-Gost-Gost-Gost-Gost.
In the little one, Bond plays in a talk show, saying that IQ tests are racially biased.

This is the perfect example of an awakened attitude that pulled most of the laughter out of the TV comedy late night. Instead of peeking out and sometimes an abrasive comic insight, they only re -examine the progressive mats about the orange man bad and vaccines.
When we look at the brightest and most successful comedians in the last 25 years, they are usually people who are willing to switch to alleged good taste. Guys like Dave Chappelle, Norma Macdonald, Ricky Gervais and in recent times Shane Gillis, have been in hot water because of the so -called offensive material.
In the case of “Saturday Night Live”, there were some signs that things were changing, regardless of the decision on the bone of the producer Lorne Michaels to return to his word and give Kamal Harris the performance just a few days before the election and make the scrimmage line.

The recent sketch in which President Donald Trump was portrayed by Hamilton’s superstar Lin Manuel Miranda is a good example of a playful touch that would be four years ago, perhaps four months ago.
