Critics who lambasted the show over not including the jokes were given more ammunition after creator Lorne Michaels reasoned there were no Weinstein jokes because: “It’s a New York thing.”
However, as many people have noticed, the often timely comedy show failed to address the ongoing allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
According to the New York Times, there were originally jokes about Weinstein in the show, but they were dropped last minute — according to someone closely associated with the show.
Saturday Night Live has finally returned, Ryan Gosling and Gal Gadot having both impressed during their respective shows.
