A Funny Thing Happened
I used to watch the original Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast with Gilda Radnor, Chevy Chase and others around 1975. I found myself watching the news satires, but I didn’t understand the humor. So, I started watching the real news during the week, so that I could understand the satire when I saw it on SNL. I didn’t have a conscious thought beyond wanting to understand SNL. But, I realize now, that by doing that it gave me a comparison.
I was trying to keep up with the Trump administration, starting with his inauguration in the beginning with his cabinet, confirmations, etc. But, after a while, I found myself watching SNL satires reflecting on current events with the Trump administration so that I could be updated on current events with the Trump administration.
