Even the original cast wasn't funny all the time and some of the writing was really bad. The thing I don't like about SNL now is it's overproduced and too slick. In the old days it was like you were watching a live skit. Not anymore.

I was long ago!

Don't show John Belushi, show Alec the Gunnut Baldwin

It’s amazing they get all five to watch anymore.

Hit and miss the old shows were the best

Are you sure it’s that high?

But only one in 20 thinks NEWSWEEK IS ACTUALLY NEWS....

Liberals aren’t funny

Seriously, it's still on?

It used to be funny. :(

It used to be funny ages ago

Once upon a time they were funny, not any more.

Nah man it's like shit not funny and it has to stop SNL is dead get rid of that trash 😤

I am one of these five people then. But I’m pretty sure that survey by was wokefully carried out and statistically irrelevant.

I think that might be among weekly viewers of SNL. Remember, most of us just stopped watching.

I wouldn’t know last I liked it was before norm Macdonald was fired by top clown

Lies. No one really thinks SNL is funny. It stopped being funny years ago - just ask Eddie Murphy. I remember seeing this SNL skit live as a kid and it was hilarious.

'new poll shows that one in five lie'

hasnt been funny in decades. politically bias/correct 'humor', just for NPCs to clap like seals

One too many

You can tell how old someone is by when they think SNL started to suck.

It used to be funny

MadTV had these fools beat day one. In Living Color would have busted them up to if it weren't on Sundays instead of Saturday.

its the most cringe safe shit ive ever seen

SNL in its current state is pretty bad.

That many?

The one in five don’t actually watch it. They are talking about the old days.

i demand a recount! there's no way it ranks higher than 1 in 10 in the popularity polls! have you seen their obscene political and social biases?

I like how you have almost 4 millions followers and can only get under 25 likes in 2 hours. This is also fake news. Nobody thinks SNL is funny.

Every time I find out someone watches snl it’s always weirdos like roommate hangs cause nothing better to do on sat night. Who gives a fuck

Can't tell because I never watch it. Only see highlights when clips are shown on other shows.

I bet it is more like 1 in 25.

Those people are called the problem

When it first started it was a bit funny because it was borderline with the rules of broadcasting, a bit racy, a ton of mockery, today though... meh...

I’m part of the 4.

Who did you interview trump,mitch,greene and ryan.

Seems high

Poll: Religious Americans less worried about climate changeA new Pew Research Center report explores how religion in the U.S. intersects with views on the environment and climate change. That's the dumbest thing I've heard today. And like a trusty old watch, it's KSL bringing it to the public as if it's a worthy waste of our time to read? Trump won 2020. Have a great day! No one cares. We don’t ask what Harry Potter fans think, why would we ask weak minded cult members?

As Biden turns 80, Americans ask 'What's too old?'Joe Biden turns 80 on Sunday, making him the first octogenarian president in U.S. history. “Americans”? Which Americans? The real questions after the last four years is what the limit is on corrupt and stupid. Retirement age is 65ish isn’t it? Shouldn’t that be the limit? What age can one start earning social security? That should be the age limit.
