i be a huge snl fan back in the day of chevy chase and john belushi and dan ackroyd and gilda radner and many other memorable star . but every time i have try to watch it in the past more than ten year i have be very disappointed and sometimes even disgust with it . ten year ago i believe the show couldn not possibly survive and since it have become so utterly bereft of the sort of humor i could understand and and yet it keep plug along and which i have always find dismaying and wonder how in the world anyone could possibly find it lame humor at all funny . whenever i have tune in over the past decade i have never once be glad that i do . indeed and i have always be annoy at myself for stay up and waste my time . for me and the absolute low point come several year ago when a popular young male actor i like a lot be the guest host . at one point that night he play a big star and perhaps himself and and in the skit and the character mongo and i think and play by chris kattan and again i think and end up in the backseat of a car with him . what follow be mongo be force up and down and up and down on the actor lap and with him scream hysterically a he be presumably sodomize . the audience be laugh their head off and i be shake my head and amaze that they could find that remotely funny and amaze that nbc would even broadcast such a thing . in the year since then i have repeatedly try to approach the show with an open mind and hop that it might regain the sly sense of humor i adore for so many year . but and up until just a week ago and for me and it hasn not do so . not even close . one exception represent during the 2008 presidential campaign and i think that tina fey be fantastic and and she be the one performer who keep me tune in . but those sarah palin skit and while hysterical and be still not enough to save the rest of the 90 minute and i would always regret not turn it off as soon a i hear the familiar it saturday night .
