That\u2019s a remarkable run for any show, let alone one attempting to grab the zeitgeist year after year.<\/p>\n<p>The show will be missing some familiar faces this season. Kate McKinnon \u2014 arguably its most versatile star of the modern era \u2014 is off to make movies and TV shows, but definitely not \u201cGhostbuster\u201d sequels.<\/p>\n<p>Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Pete Davidson\u00a0are also moving on, with only the latter carving out a pop culture niche for himself in the grand \u201cSNL\u201d tradition. Other departures include Alex Moffat, Melissa Villase\u00f1or and\u00a0Aristotle Athari, names likely unknown to most TV audiences.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption>Saturday Night Live will have a nearly brand new cast this season, but does anyone even care anymore? (Photo by Frazer Harrison\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The show\u2019s fall return once left fans giddy with anticipation. Who would the show target next? What wacky skits did the team toil on all summer long?<\/p>\n<p>Those days are likely gone for good, at least for anyone who likes a side order of surprise with his or her comedy entree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSNL\u201d joined late night TV in <a href=\"https:\/\/stream.org\/saturday-night-live-became-part-of-the-stasi-to-protect-hunter-biden\/\">turning hopelessly to the Left<\/a> in recent years. The show now targets GOP figures relentlessly, while giving a pass to most Democratic politicians. They\u2019ve yet to lay a satirical glove on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Vice President Kamala Harris, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The show also waited, and waited, to target New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, even though his serial transgressions happened on their door step.<\/p>\n<p>Few expect that to change come October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/rob-schneider-pin-pointed-the-exact-moment-snl-died\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ROB SCHNEIDER PIN-POINTED THE EXACT MOMENT SNL DIED<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most recent <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> season saw the Not Ready for Prime-Time players look the other way as President Joe Biden bumbled his way through his first full year in office. They downplayed his gargantuan gaffes, ability to dodge the press and collapsing poll numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Social media and YouTube flooded the zone with funny Biden bits while the professionals at \u201cSNL\u201d stood down.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-1\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\">\n\t       [embedded content]\n\t       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The show\u2019s \u201cWeekend Update\u201d segment mentioned Biden a time or two, but the show\u2019s hard-Left writers kept him out of most sketches. <\/p>\n<p>One bold exception? <\/p>\n<p>A sketch featuring two Bidens (one played by \u201cSNL\u201d alum Jason Sudeikis) suggesting the Commander in Chief wasn\u2019t all there, mentally-speaking.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-2\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\">\n\t       [embedded content]\n\t       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Compare that to \u201cSNL\u201d in the Trump era, which comedically assaulted every element of Team Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t always this way. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSNL\u201d once hit Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan with equal fervor. Now? Even Hunter Biden, the most mockable First Son in history, couldn\u2019t muster a cast member to bring him to life.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden\u2019s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/cnn-changes-joe-bidens-bloody-red-backdrop-to-warmer-pink-mid-speech\/\">screed against 70+ million Americans<\/a>, made before a blood-red backdrop reminiscent of your average tinpot dictator, would have been perfect fodder for \u201cSNL\u201d in its prime.<\/p>\n<p>The current show can be excused for ignoring it come Oct. 1 since it\u2019ll be a few weeks old by then. Had \u201cSNL\u201d been fully operational at the time of the ill-received speech, it likely would rate a \u201cWeekend Update\u201d mention, at best.<\/p>\n<p>What will we see this season?<\/p>\n<p>No matter how many weeks old the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/search-warrant-donald-trump-mar-a-lago-raid-released\/\">FBI\u2019s Mar-a-Lago raid<\/a> may be, expect it to get a ripe \u201cSNL\u201d close-up sooner than later. The show will likely target Dr. Oz, the Pennsylvania Republican running for the Senate against an opponent who can barely deliver a speech following a debilitating stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Show founder Lorne Michaels has no problem destroying the show\u2019s legacy in service to his fellow Democrats. He\u2019s stayed silent about the show\u2019s bias in recent years, letting the sketches speak on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if Michaels and co. decided to take the show back to its roots? What if NBC hired Ryan Long, the fiercely apolitical comic who shreds woke culture via his viral videos, to be a new contributor?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-3\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\">\n\t       [embedded content]\n\t       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Maybe Tim Dillon, a take-no-prisoners comedian who thrives outside the Hollywood eco-system, could be the season\u2019s first host?<\/p>\n<p>What if \u201cSNL\u201d brought back Maya Rudolph to play Vice President Harris delivering one of her trademark word-salad speeches?<\/p>\n<p>None of the above will happen. That we can say that with any sense of certainty shows just how far <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> has fallen.
