That’s why one week the series may have Donald Trump on to host and another week the show might incense Donald Trump to the point where he tweets out that the series isn’t funny at all.
Last weekend, the series featured a sketch about Hillary supporters getting upset about the election loss and this week the show brought back Alec Baldwin to play Donald Trump, indicating it is at least trying to play things down the middle, even if that isn’t clear for everyone during every single episode.
Other Presidential hopefuls, from Hillary Clinton to even the likes of Ben Carson some months past, had to deal with caricatures being made of their opinions and personalities, as well.
That’s a pretty lengthy quote, but what it boils down to is that Michael Che and many of the other individuals who help with the creative direction of Saturday Night Live feel like the show is at its core about comedy and poking fun at our individual beliefs and biases.
