Saturday Night Live doesn’t care about skewering American presidents anymore.
The sketch series, whose entire brand for the past four years has been built on bashing the last president, made no quips about the brand new Biden administration during skits in the show's first episode of the new year. (Though they did reference Biden administration policies during the "Weekend Update" satirical news segment.)
“In their first episode of 2021 and the first under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the show didn’t take aim at the two prominent figures,” popculture.com reported.
This came as a shock to literally no one on planet Earth, but it did prompt a few viewers an opportunity to slam the NBC sketch comedy series on Twitter for being shameless political partisans.
