Oh really? Is that why all the cast members have been comedians?

Perhaps you are not familiar with NBC’s track record…

Oh, can’t fool you, oh except for the public figures and/or news makers appearing weekly.

I would also argue Charles Rocket…

A 12-minute “debate” on SNL could be entertaining, provided the SNL writers get to script it.

Of course, I’ve seen this actor but I was unaware of his sad death until I Googled the name you posted.
Modern American fame seems both best and poorly suited to the emotionally and mentally unbalanced who seek it.

roll over!!!

GOOD doggie

Hell, I was unaware of his sad death.

I just remember him being fucking awful during the second-worst stretch of SNL years.

Cutting your own throat seems an unlikely suicide…
(But, then, we’ve watched so many Republicans do it…)

I want them all in the show’s opener at the same time at lecterns and tell them they have to keep it to two minutes. I bet it would be the LONGEST OPENER EVER!

Then you bring on Larry David to say '“LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!”

Wasn’t the fairness doctrine repealed by Republicans sometime during W.s administration?

Look, I’m not saying Hillary Clinton killed him. I’m just saying that we can’t be sure where she was that night…

I can’t help thinking that Saturday Night Live, and not the White House, is where these clowns belong.

Eliminating Fairness and reclassifying his program as news (something that can be done with a wink and a nod) allowed for Rush’s early syndication success (small rural stations could get a news/public affairs licensing boost with Rush programming) until Clinton’s ‘modifications’ eliminated most station licensing requirements (leaving us with the cornucopia of thoughtful, informative programming available today [/s]…you know…the free market) but, by then, Rush was a gigantic Bush II-enabling dynamo.
–FYI, now that I think about it, SNL could already bear a vestigial news classification…
