The old school “Saturday Night Live” — I’m talking the John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Dan Aykroyd crew — were a big hit in the 70s and 80s because they were experts at mimicking reality in hilarious fashion. Nowadays it seems like the show was performed in another world.
The roles have been reversed. Reality now mimics “Saturday Night Live.” And it’s not funny anymore — not SNL the show or the reality mimicking it.
Former Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota was one of the original writers for SNL back in 1975. Somewhere along the way, Franken lost his way and now melds the once separate worlds of political reality and entertainment into one bizarre episode. Franken’s not alone. Far from it. It’s the leftist norm.
