It is about time!
In the beginning there were the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players”, a group of superb comedians that had their fingers on the political pulse of America and the world. Week after week, they gave us humor and sarcasm and no one was immune. Their political commentary was spot on. Then as all things it came to an end, the originals left SNL and were replaced with pale imitations of their former comrades. Do not get me wrong, they were funny and ….well they were funny. But the political comedy was sadly missing.
Now after a long wait, they are back and in the form of the originals. Since the beginning of this “silly season”, the election, SNL has once again grabbed the initiuative that until recently had been the sole domain of the “Daily Show”. They have returned to the biting sarcasm of a political campaign. Their actors are playing the candidates and news makers to a tee. Tina Fey is marvelous!
It is great to see that SNL has finally decided to grab the political bull by the cajones. They are once again taking on the establishment with humor and sarcasm. Today’s SNL will be remembered fondly along side the originals. Well done!
In closing all I can say is “Welcome Back, SNL”! Us old farts missed you!
