>Former cast member Fred Armisen returned to host the season finale of Saturday Night Live. The show, featuring musical guest Courtney Barnett, drew a 3.7 household rating in the metered markets and a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating in the markets with local people meters. >That was off by a tenth in both categories from last season’s finale (3.8 in HH, 1.8 in 18-49), posting new metered markets season (and likely series) lows. The previous low marks logged multiple times this season were 3.8 (HH) and 1.8 (18-49). deadline.com/2016/05/saturday-night-live-season-finale-ratings-fred-armisen-1201760995/
Why don't they just fire the entire cast and hire new writers?

SNL seems like a very dated concept anyway, no fucking clue what its doing on the air after so long. Just make a skit show with rotating guests.
John Jones
Breitbart is a beacon of hope.
Aiden Ross
They really expect Fred Armisen to pull in viewers? kek. Just get rid of SNL already. MAD TV was always superior.
Evan Foster
but how's their youtube channel doing?
Christian Price
>People are interested in comedy, not Liberal propaganda, so they tune-out
Color me shocked. The same shit happened with Glee. It went from being one of the most-watched shows in the history of Fox that many different age-groups watched, to something only weird fat women kept up with, in less than 6 months.
Ethan Gutierrez
make drugs and alcohol mandatory for the writers and actors and maybe we'll get somewhere
Kevin Peterson
Fred Armisen is funny I guess but he's a "star"? Really? He was a fucking bit player on SNL for like a decade of course he's not going to pull in any sort of numbers.
Chase Morales
>same site that literally turns on every candidate after sucking their dick for months >in extreme case sucking trump's dick then creating 10 stories about a false incident of a campaign manager forcefully pulling a beibhart chick which again was false but none the less they spent months creating a page after page about a false controversy >Ben cuckpiro
Mason Miller
Fred Armisen can be really funny when he's "on" but he's very hit or miss, and most Americans don't know who the fuck he is aside from maybe a vague recognition from SNL or Eurotrip.
Oh well, SNL has always gone through cycles. They were hot a few years ago, now they're down, but they'll be hot again.
Andrew Richardson
Nevermind then
Tyler Hernandez
They should make it half as long and work harder on the writing.
Fire all the cast. Even the black guy has grown stale.
Nathan Bell
It's pretty easy to tell because fags keep posting screenshots with the alt-right headlines in that stupid aerial font.
Owen White
SNL is bad on purpose to prevent another Adam sandler from happening.
Parker Scott
>>Ben cuckpiro And how did that end up?
Easton Gomez
Breitbart is just another pandering tabloid website.
Christopher Bailey
it's so formulaic it's depressing. there's always a giant circlejerk with 20 minutes of required cameo applause and nonstop licking of lorne michaels' butthole
here's Andy Kaufman in season 5 wrestling women while telling them they all belong in the kitchen
But they knew it would happen. Have you seen it? Crazy shit went down - very wild for live tv.
Jayden Russell
but that's a prohibition on sale, not a gun grab
Jaxson Howard
There are some really lame actors there. I mean, Sasheer Zamata, Jon Rudnitsky, Beck Bennett and Michael Che are hot garbage. Bobby and Kenan are great but they look bored. Taran, Kate, Cecily and Kyle are pretty good and they deserve better writing. Keep Jost, Bryant, Pharoah, Bayer and Jones if you cant find better people. Then hire decent writers and try to shock a bit more.
Brody Thomas
True, but then the ratings seem to stem more from the antiquated time slot, and not so much by the so called leftist entertainment (Trump was the host, for fucks sake).
People nowadays have a lot more to do on Saturday nights.
Henry Wright

Nathaniel Roberts
They won't ever grab them, but they can effectively kill gun manufacturing and sale for the rest of all time which keeps future gun owners from existing.
Ryder Wood
You're just as bad as him
Colton Green
How does this website work?
Charles Reed
honestly gun manufacturing in the united states could stand to slow down some
or at least enough that it stops leaking weapons into conflict zones as fast as former soviet territories immediately following the cold war
Elijah Edwards
fred was anything but a bit player.
and outside of tina and amy poehler hes probably made the material out of anyone whos come from SNL
Cooper Bell
>honestly gun manufacturing in the united states could stand to slow down some
It's a skilled labor industry where people who work in those factories make 75k a year. We need more jobs like that and less $10 an hour jobs.
Spoken like a true silver-spoon liberal.
Cooper Collins
I think the real question here is, "Why the fuck do people like Fred Armisen?"
Brody Ward
>honestly gun manufacturing in the united states could stand to slow down some
That's up to the market.
Dylan Fisher
I don't enjoy being an ignorant, though. >him kek.
Justin Butler
obviously they do not
Joseph Russell
gun nuts have been screaming for years that Obama was going to take away all guns
are we suppose to believe them now when they start screaming Hillary?
Gavin Watson
i'd really rather not have the free market funneling arms into international warzones
Caleb Peterson
Portlandia used to be pretty funny, pham.
Josiah Powell
isn't this the same argument the tobacco industry uses
Sebastian Phillips
Now you're talking about two completely different things. Domestic weapons sales and international contracts are not even close to related.
Jonathan Sanders
Domestic weapons sales and international arms smuggling are definitely related though.
How do you think the cartels get their guns, user? They don't all come from the CIA.
Brayden Jenkins
I usually dislike snl but I watched this episode, nothing else was on, and I thought it was pretty good, except for that weird song thing they ended on. Better than the snippets of other episodes I've caught lately. Musical guest, Courtney Barnett was pretty good too. And a fucking qt as well.
Benjamin Martinez
>Why don't they just fire the entire cast and hire new writers?
Because, as any actually funny person knows, comedy is dead. You aren't allowed to joke about things that are really funny any longer, only sanitized hug box material at which no one laughs. SNL has always mirrored society and society just isn't funny right now. They're smug, self-serious, asshole bullies.
Luke Johnson
The ATF Still true
Jaxon Foster
Everyone involved in that incident got the boot ("resigned") and Little Ben is currently on suicide-watch after he destroyed his career.
