SNL has brief periods of success bookended by decades of mediocrity. This year, we're in the success period as SNL finds themselves with ratings higher than the last 10 plus years. So, what was the secret? Trump mainly; the rest of the secret seems to be having people who aren't cast members of SNL play the important parts on the show. So, the less SNL people involved, the better SNL seems to be. Most of us could've figured that formula out without having to elect a mildly retarded man baby to make it obvious, but hey enlightenment is better late than never. On the plus side, if Rosie O'Donnell plays Steve Bannon, it might piss Trump off so much that he'll self destruct. More so.
