There's no fucking punchline, they're literally just recapping the premise of the show through a modern-era country song with hip-hop influences (the worst legacy of Old Town Road) and occasionally saying something about South Korea not being America. I hate it
This is why SNL has so many "game show but with celebrities who say the darndest things" sketches. Nothing draws claps quite like a celebrity the audience recognizes saying the darndest things

The Jeopardy thing was good because "Uneducated celebrities trying to compete in a show for smart people" was already sort of a joke on IRL Jeopardy. Then you just get the cast doing impromptu exaggerated impressions of other famous people which is literally the only reason SNL was ever funny.
Some of 'em feel obligated to like it because the orange man said it was bad. They're pain pigs for contradicting conservative culture war.
People just need to feel the comfortable and familiar. SNL had been garbage for years, and then Trump finished it off. Now it's just a security blanket.
I'm so old I remember when SNL was edgy. Norm Macdonald got fired for making too many OJ Simpson jokes. I loved watching that guy, because you never knew what he was going to do. Live TV, don't forget.
Live TV, don’t forget.
Wasn't that the whole appeal?
"It's live TV! Anything can happen!"
Now they've filled the cast with the boringest, safest, most smooth brained comedians Central Casting can round up. The most LiveTV aspect of the show is people missing their queues and forgetting their lines.
Needed a chance to see my family for a bit and it was what they had on. I would not have watched otherwise
You know how when someone is doing an impression they'll do "Oh hi Rudy Giuliani" so you know who it's supposed to be? I thought it was a little insulting when they did "Hi Daniel Craig" to Daniel Craig.
I genuinely don't understand why anyone watches snl. It seems like everything they produce is not just stale, its so painfully unfunny I would pretty much rather get stung by hornets than have to watch a single segment
They did a decent job with the singing. Should have done something other than just a plot synopsis though. More interesting than most country music.
SNL had a golden period with the Not Ready For Prime Time Players in the 70s, another in the 80s with Eddie Murphy & co., and one in the 90s with Norm Macdonald's generation.
Ever since then? Nothing. Name anyone who's on SNL today. None of us can.
