'Saturday Night Live' Suffers Worst-Rated Episode in Its History After Hiring Avowed Socialist
“Saturday Night Live,” a show which could have been canceled and not missed two decades ago, suffered the biggest ratings skid in the its 47-year history last weekend for the season opener.
The Wrap, citing analytics from Nielsen, reported the opening episode of the show’s new season was the least watched episode in total viewers since the show launched in 1975 on NBC.
“This past Saturday’s episode, which was hosted by Owen Wilson, drew a 0.92 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and 4.9 million total viewers.
It’s hard to believe that hiring an avowed socialist didn’t help the formerly great but now “woke” sketch comedy show attract new viewers. As The Wrap reported, new additions to the show this year include Aristotle Athari, James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman.
Sherman is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
“SNL” would be better off at this point if we could cancel it and remember it for what it once was: funny.
Keeping it around at this point is simply a sad reminder that yet another formerly great American institution has been hijacked by leftists. Perhaps when the show finally goes off the air for good, we can properly eulogize it and remember only the good times.
