SNL scraps sketch critical of Obama, replaces it with Fox News parody

SNL scraps sketch critical of Obama, replaces it with Fox News parody. We wonder if SNL got word from the White House that they’d all end up in GITMO being water boarded if they aired it? Transcript here.

  • The actors, writers, directors and producers all got a call from the job czar Immlet. The Immlet that is CEO of GE. The parent company of NBC. The Immlet that tells small businesses people to hire more Americans, while he ships jobs to China.

    There's no conflict here at all. Keep moving commeades and follow the line straight in front of you. Don't worry it will be in your best interest.

  • Just so everyone knows, the one and only SA-Rose is unable to get onto this site. She's having some of the same problems that others have had in recent times, and wants everyone to know she is working on it.

  • There is a big difference between the reasonable humor they used successfully for years and the current arrogant mocking that only appeals to liberals.

  • The Fox News skit stunk. You could tell it was written by a typical liberal who doesn't watch Fox, it was so filled with cliches. The Obama skit was cut because it's only six months until the election and the liberal comedians are laying off Obama now, not that they've ever mocked him that much.

    • They will use the "Equal Time" law as their excuse.
      They're just too chickenshit to admit to the truth, Lorne Michaels has given the "Lay Off Obama" order.

  • Wow, color me stunned! A liberal show, staffed with liberal writers and liberal actors, airing on a liberal network in an election year, decided not to air a skit poking fun at Barack Obama.

    Didn't see that coming.

  • Doesn't look like it was very funny anyway, but that's been true of SNL since about 1985.
