“Saturday Night Live” is facing mounting calls to apologize — and even be officially investigated — over its tone-deaf sketch making light of university presidents refusing to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews.

“This is really appalling,” Dr. Sara Yael Hirschhorn, a “historian of Israel and Jews” and a visiting professor at the University of Haifa in Israel, wrote of Saturday’s cold open. …

Many demanded an apology for the sketch, which poked fun at US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for demanding the university leaders answer to outrage at their failure to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews on campuses.

[SNL has been a progressive-activist carbuncle on the rear end of America for decades. That’s why it has largely stopped being relevant or funny. This, however, has suddenly given SNL and Michaels new relevance, and in all the worst ways possible. I disagree with Dr. Hirschhorn’s call for the FCC to ‘investigate’ SNL content, but consumers should hold NBC and its advertisers to account for these choices. Michaels should have gotten bounced decades ago anyway. — Ed]
