‘SNL’ Is Quietly Bringing Back the Best Part of Its ’90s Sketches
SNL is quietly returning to its TV Funhouse sketches by releasing brand-new animated shorts, a format last seen in the 90s.
Saturday Night Live recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on NBC, but over those five decades it's become commonplace for fans to complain thatLorne Michaels' show isn't as good as it used to be, that it isn't as funny, it's too political, it no longer produces big stars, and on and on. While those are just opinions, it is true that SNL's ratings aren't what they used to be, and outside of political show openings, or rare viral segments like "Washington's Dream" with Nate Bargatze, the comedy icon doesn't have the pop-culture impact that it once did.
