Saturday Night Live Kaput!?!

After a 50-year run, Saturday Night Live is on the chopping block. The vultures are circling because the comedy skit series is now losing close to $100 million a year.

More rumors are flying since Saturday Night Live went on an unscheduled hiatus. There’s also a flurry of speculation now that it appears Lorne Michaels, the show’s creator and executive producer all this time, is nearing retirement.

When will NBC lower the boom? And will the network also axe its late-night talk shows? Here’s more from The Quartering.

Banker Dimon’s Blind Spot

Banker Jamie Dimon claims he knew nothing about Jeffrey Epstein’s illicit crime activities, up to and including sex trafficking of minors and cannibalism, on his resort island. Little St. James, in the Caribbean Sea. But the same individuals who secured Dimon’s promotions to the top of the banking industry were the individuals who paved the way for Epstein to become a heavy-hitting investor, with entrenched political, business and entertainment contacts.

Those individuals included Les Wexner, the co-founder of Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works as well as the late James Crown, who served as board director for General Dynamics and J. P. Morgan Chase & Company.  Here’s more from Whitney Webb.

And speaking of Jeffrey Epstein, one of his butt buddies — Tom Hanks — managed to piss off more than half the nation Saturday night by producing a lame Saturday Night Live skit implying supporters of President Donald Trump are all dumb-ass rednecks. Hanks, one of the more vile leftists in Hollywood, has moved his domicile to Greece.

Why? Because Greece doesn’t have an extradition treaty, so Hanks — who’s definitely not a child molester –won’t be shipped back to the United States for trial if he’s ever formally indicted on charges of any kind.

In all honesty, this worthless piece of trailer trash should have faced justice years ago. Same applies to Bill Gates and all the rest of Epstein’s rich, fatcat, leftist cronies. They might have the bucks, but they are truly moral degenerates. The worst are pedophiles, child traffickers and cannibals, but all of them have truly bizarre and criminal quirks. They should have been prosecuted and jailed — or hung — decades ago.

Let’s hope Trump has enough control of the government to get it done this time around. Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.

 

Making History

Saturday Night Live just made history by becoming the first television show to hire a non-binary comedian, or in other words, a comedian who doesn’t identify as either a man or a woman.

Seems like it’s time Saturday Night Live made history another way — by simply ceasing to exist. That’s what should happen when your comedians are no longer funny. More from Mark Dice.

Child Sex Scandal Hits SNL

A lawsuit has been filed alleging that Saturday Night Live comedian Horatio Sanz groomed and sexually molested a 16-year-old girl at an SNL after-hours party. Jimmy Fallon also got into the act, drinking with the 16-year-old victim while also emailing and chatting up another minor — aged 15. They have been named in a new lawsuit that also seeks damages from Saturday Night Live Studios and NBC Universal. More from The Quartering.

Want the full details of the case? Here, Jamie Dlux draws from the filings for the case to give us clear evidence of what happened. It wasn’t merely a sexually inappropriate Horatio Sanz who crossed the line, but also the executives of Saturday Night Live, including its creator Lorne Michaels and longtime producer Michael Shoemaker.

This incident brings to mind the old Family Guy episode called Don’t Make Me Over, in which Meg gets a new makeover and transforms into a sexy pop singer. She makes a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live and is deflowered by Jimmy Fallon. Peter Griffin beats Fallon to a pulp for taking advantage of the child.

I Give Up!

Dennis gives his thoughts on the current political divide in America and why he’s given up trying to get people to change their minds. He discusses how his priorities have shifted dramatically as an elder statesman of comedy.

Dennis shares his current feelings on the entertainment industry and how he stumbled into comedy as a prop comedian and how his act became more political. Dennis also describes the unique story of how he got the job offer from Lorne Michaels for Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. He also reveals why he was rarely in any SNL sketches. Here, we present both parts of the two-part series.
