Corona-chan cured cancer!

Do it in front of an empty studio. I think we need this.

...and there was much rejoicing...

Yes great news. SNL has never been good

You mean SNL(D)? Who F*cking cares.

Oh. I thought it was because it wasnt funny anymore.

But I understand. We will miss you guys. Stay safe & healthy!

That sux.

Maybe they can study comedy while they are off!

Good.

But whats the bad news?

Thats some good news

They still make that show?

Wait it’s still on TV?

You should stay on permanent hiatus.

'Because of the coronavirus' and chronic inability to be funny

I don't see the problem with that.

Gosh, what will we do? Oh no 😐 Say it ain't so WhoCares

Silver lining

Best “news” I’ve heard all day!

Good

Maybe there is a God

Nothing of value was lost

i'll be doing what i always do, not watching the dumb lib show

It hasn’t been back since the late 80’s

Silver linings...

Swwwwweeeet!

See everyone. Its not all bad

First bit of good news in weeks!!

No one gives a shit either 😂

Good

thank god

And not a thing of value was lost.

Is this your idea of bad news, 'cuz I'm not feelin' it.

It needs to remain on this hiatus permanently!!!

Can they stay gone?

SNL has been on hiatus since the late 1990s

Take that, Haters 😂🤣😂

So it's not all bad news.

Just stay cancelled.

Theoryof_rights Finally some positive news!

If I want to watch a comedy skit that does nothing but badmouth President Trump and report fake news, I'll just tune into CNN and MSNBC on any given day. Problem solved!

A reason to dance! Fewer pointless and unfunny skits!

Wait...SNL is still around.? Who knew?

Yay.

Oh Dear, wherever can I go for my Trump bashing!!

Winning

The Wuhan flu can do some good!

Wait, this show is still airing? Hasn’t been funny since Chris Farley was there.

cccp3o Good!!!!!!! They can stay gone FOREVER!!!!!!!!

Not a great loss there

I KNEW there was a silver lining!

home confinement and NO SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

Finally

Saturday night Live? WHAT IS THAT?

I hope they air the good SNL line up.

Well there is a Bright side

Oh no, the Democrats are loosing all their free advertisers

I want to know for every Chinavirus reported and death occurrence we should also get the number of regular flu reported and death so we can at least have some context?

Now if only CNN would follow suit.

Does anyone even watch anymore?

I thought it'd be because they haven't been funny in over 15 years

Good

No need to come back at all.

Silver lining

IntelCrab

Keep it on hiatus even afterwards

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 funniest thing I’ve seen from SNL in at least a decade

Wow...this is the first corona virus related news I couldn’t care less about.

Blue checks on suicide watch. Everyone else unaffected.

Who?

aww gee that's too bad

Didn’t know it was still on

It’s still on?

That’s still on?

They could do us all a favor and just cancel it completely. We'd be okay with that.

Great news!!!

Omg I'm so going to miss the bi-partisan humor. Said no one ever.

Finally a good news

The only good Chinese Wuhan Virus news I've seen all day.

IntelCrab

SNL will be replaced by Trump daily briefings on Coronavirus

kathy_kits Haha haha 😆 Both you and SNL. Laughing out loud. When will broadcasters get COVID19? Soon hopefully so my children can go back to normal lives. Stupid to jail children to protect adults.

Who cares.

Excellent!

That show is still on ? I thought that crap show was over a long time ago ! People actually watch that mess still

Winning!!!!!

Some bright spots in this pandemic

It’s the worst news :(

They’re still on? I thought they went off the air in the 90s

THANK YOU wuhanflu

What? No comedy routines about people dying from the virus?

And nothing of value was lost

Finally

Yay!

Oh no. What shall we do...

Show reruns from the 70's through early 2000's when it actually was funny and had more substance

Wow! CNN actually reported good news for a change!

Thank god

Now I am really bummed out; no SNL, where do I turn to for comic relief in these stressful and uncertain times? Oh, I got it, 'The View' without Joy Behar.

They’re still on?

How cool would it be if the cast & crew just barricaded themselves at 30 Rock and kept cranking out SNL?

No need to return... we're good.

Studio420Ben

Good!! Not funny anymore anyway. Hopefully they will run the reruns with Bill, Gilda, Chevy!!

Big surprise cowards

Nobody watches that garbage anyway!

Yer sayin that like it's a bad thing

It’s actually because the show sucks

Finally some good news!

That’s still on?

I was sitting here and wondering will SNL return Who gives a flying F***

Sucked anyways so no loss at all!! Just Sayin'

Oh No! What am I going to do without the same old, tired jokes being read off a teleprompter?

This is one thing the Coronavirus can kill and I will be happy about it.
