Arrr, matey! Columnist David Marcus be claimin’ that Lorne Michaels, the scallywag behind Saturday Night Live, has tarnished his good name by breakin’ the sacred rules o’ the sea—err, I mean, broadcasting—to give Kamala Harris a cheeky boost! A right ruckus, it be!
Arrr matey! Five decades past since the grand captain Lorne Michaels set sail with his merry band o' “not ready for prime-time players” on the high seas of comedy known as Saturday Night Live. But lo and behold, this weekend, ol’ Lorne decided to scuttle his own ship!On that fateful night, Vice President Kamala Harris, like a siren luring sailors, appeared in a cringe-inducing skit that’d make a parrot squawk! Aye, 'twas a clear breach of the Federal Communications Commission’s rules, leaving us to wonder if SNL be a comedy show or a campaign ship for Harris.Back on the first of October, Michaels swore by his cutlass that neither Harris nor her rival Donald Trump would grace the stage. But with the election looming like a storm on the horizon, he decided to turn his vessel into a floating billboard for the Democrats!Me hearties, it be clear that Michaels has betrayed the trust of his crew and audience, tossing aside the art of fair ridicule for a partisan shanty that be more akin to a political rally than comedy! SNL, once a bastion of laughter, now be a sorry sight, like a ship run aground.So, here’s to hoping Lorne might find his sea legs again, for the deck be a treacherous place when the winds of partisanship blow! Aye, let’s get back to laughter, or risk sinking into the depths o’ despair! Arrr!
