I yearn for the days SNL and comedians were not political hacks in disguise.

Which I gladly largely attribute to Trump being extreme and also perfectly unlikeable, and also that often just citing him verbatim is funny. But it gets too much, dumb and repetitive at times. After the thousandth pee pee joke I had to severely cut down late night for me, on the counts that all the jabs indeed stopped being funny and started to turn into an annoying pandering to the liberal audience. Some worse than others.

I for one can understand the sentiment a bit.

Same reason I have stopped watching late night. It turned from being funny to beating a dead horse. SNL on the other hand, I don't mind watching it as I still chuckle. But OP is right when he says it's not as good as it once was. Johnny Carson was hilarious and so was David Letterman. That was good TV.
