Saturday Night Live
From Conservapedia
Saturday Night Live (often shortened to just SNL) was an immensely popular sketch-comedy show starting in 1975 on NBC, but as it became more politically correct it predictably became less funny in the past decade. SNL's lame attempt to spoof Sarah Palin was widely promoted by the remainder of the liberal media. SNL also does make fun of liberals like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, but still attacks conservative views. SNL continues to run weekly despite its lack of influence and increase in politicization.
In the past, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, the show turned some of its minor players into feature film actors including:
- Dan Akroyd (The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters)
- Eddie Murphy (Coming to America, Trading Places and The Nutty Professor)
- Mike Myers (Wayne's World, Austin Powers, and Shrek)
- Julia Louis Dreyfuss (Seinfeld)
- Adam Sandler (50 First Dates and Happy Gilmore
- Harry Shearer (The Simpsonsand This is Spinal Tap)
