While I’m not 100 percent sold on this theory, it seems plausible. SNL is certainly far-removed from its golden era (although I’m a big fan of Kate MacKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, and Pete Davidson), this episode was the worst I can remember watching in recent memory. SNL has a talented, funny cast–they just didn’t deliver on tonight’s episode.

I’m still not entirely sure why Trump agreed to host SNL. I doubt that it converted many people who are on the fence into Trump supporters, it wasn’t funny, and it was just an overall bland episode that everyone would have ignored if it weren’t starring someone who could feasibly be elected president of the United States in just over a year.
