I quit watching it years ago when it just ceased to be a funny show...to me at least. Then along came tRump and Spicey and some of those sketches were hilarious. I looked up tonight's show, saw that it was new and decided to watch. The Joe and Mika thing was almost too close to real to be funny but did have a few moments that were ok. Not hilarious, however. Then it went downhill to the weird Putin thing that was just not even close to funny. I tried watching a little longer but realized why I quit watching. I will wait for the funny tRump or Spicey cold open to show up on YouTube and watch it then. How do they stay on the air with such bad writing on every other part of the show? Even the Chris Pine bit about getting him mixed up with other actors named Chris went on too long and was not funny. Perhaps the problem is I am an old poop and out of their demographic target.

I remember when it first started me and my friends would get stoned and laugh our asses off.

We got through a few skits and agreed that they went nowhere. The Kellyanne skit had a kid deliver the punchline and *poof* that was it.

Chris Pine's monologue was pretty funny though.

I too quit watching a few years ago. Dead and embarrassing skits. They seem to really have picked it up this season until tonight.

Been watching since the second season.
