I'll admit it's been a long time since I've watched SNL, but watching it tonight I actually laughed at most of it.
Some choice Weekend Update quotes:
"This week, Iraq ironically caused regime change in the US." - Amy Poehler, referring to the Democrats' sweep.
"A man survived a gunshot because two small bibles in his coat pocket stopped the bullet. So I stabbed him." - Seth Myers
"Today's Veterans' Day, so that won't affect anyone in the White House." - Seth Myers
Alec Baldwin made fun of NBC in his opening monologue for their lack of star power versus ABC. In a mockery of Rumsfeld getting fired, he hired only one mover for a job that required many more and had a big "Move Accomplished" banner already hung on the wall as the move was taking place.
Between declining ratings over the last few years and shows like Studio 60 and 30 Rock, it had to be only a matter of time before some kind of change took place.
