Opinion Alec Baldwin sucks at comedy impressions. Darryl Hammond does a WAY funnier Trump impression.

Opinion Anyone still watching that shit show? Or CNN 😄😂

Opinion Fake news and clowns.

Opinion The democrats, socialist/communist, had 17 witnesses, 28,000 pages of documents to zero for the Republicans? CNN is the purveyor of lies.

Opinion What's unfortunate is how CNN never once called out the House Democrats for not allowing the GOP any witnesses. Oh how far they have fallen. Truly a garbage network.

Opinion CNN Moslems brotherhood master's voice

Opinion For sure 🙄

Opinion How low would you go?

Opinion So whatever

Opinion And why won’t Adam ship released the 18th St. transcript from the 18th witness because it totally exonerates the president and he can’t have that all of her 17 witnesses all were asked did you have any proof of any wrongdoing and they all said no so that 17 knows and the 18th

Opinion I didn't know it was still on. I wonder if it's ratings are as bad as CNN's?

Opinion By the way they had 18 witnesses in the impeachment trial so why don’t you quit spreading lies and propaganda it’s just totally ridiculous egg on your face you look Foolish ridiculous

Opinion SNL still on?

Opinion Democrats and cnn must return to work there is much to fix and much to report in the world, the show is over, return to work

Opinion well, considering that nobody in SNL was on the same room with Trump when he gave his instructions to put pressure on Ukraine... SNL people were not afraid. This is a massive cover up. Lindsay Graham seems to be deep on this mud Trump has.

Opinion fakenewscnn comparing Saturday night live to real life! Wow they’ve become a joke news program

Opinion It’s a shame that so many Americans still think that is real news, when IN FACT there is LITTLE difference between the parody that is CNN vs the lame, and rarely funny skits on SNL. MAGA

Opinion It's unfortunate that for 3 years DeanObeidallah & the MEDIA lied to the American people about Russian collusion. I haven't heard any of you scumbags apologize for concocting Russian collusion. What RepAdamSchiff, the MEDIA & the Dems did was tear our country a party with lies

Opinion What’s unfortunate is that SNL writers/performers think the show is funny.
