Saturday Night Dead

50 years later, Saturday Night Live isn’t edgy, subversive or innovative.

February 14, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield

Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th season with an iconic ‘SNL 50’ logo, a movie about its past and a struggle to get 1 million viewers under 50 to tune in.

Saturday Night, a highly fictionalized movie about the show’s opening night back in 1975, couldn’t even crack $10 million at the box office against a reported budget of $30 million.

For its 50th anniversary, it couldn’t even make it to $50 million.

1 million viewers in the theater and 1 million viewers under 50 is all that SNL has anymore.

With less than a fifth of the weekly show’s audience being in the 18-49 range, 50 would be on the young side for a Saturday Night Live viewer. No matter how the show chases young trendy stars and musical guests, its usual viewer is closer to Joe Biden’s age than the kids onscreen.

SNL hasn’t been edgy, subversive or innovative for decades.

I liked the very first episode with George Carlin.

The raw 'talents' have either passed or were dropped; John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Dana Carvey, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Garrett Morris ... I watched the show for the first few years and it was pretty darn funny.  Gone are those days - a generation ago.

The Saturday Night Live movie that came out last year, didn't paint Carlin in a good light at all.
