Well, if you were waiting on President-elect Donald Trump to respond to Saturday Night Live’s cold open last night poking fun at his press conference and the recent release of an unverified dossier, wait no longer.

Follow Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump .@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television! 4:46 PM - 15 Jan 2017 6,054 6,054 Retweets 23,379 23,379 likes Trump has taken numerous shots at both Saturday Night Live and NBC News over the past few months, even though he is executive producer of The New Celebrity Apprentice (which hasn’t stopped him from attacking that show’s ratings).

He’s right. There was once a time that SNL was funny, but that was many years ago.

Surely SNL can take a little of what they dish out, no?

I’d rather watch 1970s episodes of “The Electric Company” way before watching a present day episode of SNL.

It was downhill for SNL after the days of John Belushi, Jane Curtain, Bill Murray, Dan Akyrod, Gilda Radner, etc.

Saturday Nite Live went Saturday nite Dead after John Belushi passed away.

I agree with Trump. With Belushi there was no political meme. He just had us all rolling on the floor laughing.

Agree. When SNL lost the Not for Prime Time team, they sunk into the black whole of nothingness.

Somewhere, Morgan Freeman is quietly praying that everyone will forget that this ever happened.
