The vitriol humor of politics is insane and a turn off... I want comedy to escape normal life when inundated with politics. Nope...SNL is all about going after one and lightly poking the other. Seems 2.3 ratings are fine for a 10pm+ show on a Saturday.
I stopped watching some time ago - I catch a show if it's playing and I'm there and walk away...talent is reduced, comedy is reduced.
Now it's all about the host or musician since they get the ratings..I mean toss Taylor Swift into any show and it's ratings will go up. So when they get Billie Eilish or Arianda Grande or Elon Musk on, yeah ratings are decent but let's not kid ourselves, the ratings for the rest of the show...not so good.
