Saturday Night Live. Is it bad? Has it been bad since the 90’s? Truth is, SNL
has always been hit or miss. The show is written and produced in a single week.
Sometimes messy sketches make it to air, and sometimes magic happens.
Creating an hour-and-a-half long show in a week is an impressive feat. It takes
a full team writing hundreds of jokes, and while jokes are great, sketch writing
is about more than getting laughs. It’s about expertly crafting a cohesive story
and infusing it with jokes.
