Former SNL cast member: The show's too conservative

“It’s that kind of conservative bullshit that I was against,” Sanz said.

Sanz also said that Will Ferrell’s beer-drinking “bro” impression of George W. Bush helped swing the 2000 election to Bush over Al Gore.

Simmons brought up Kate McKinnon’s recent Hillary Clinton impression and remarked that he was surprised by it because, “They don’t usually go after Democrats like that,” but Sanz was adamant that SNL is too right-wing.

“In the spirit of the show as it was when it started, it should be a little more anti-establishment, a little less conservative,” Sanz said. “So I think that the message of the show has become less about these leftist politics and more about just being popular.”
