"Arrr, David Marcus be sayin', at fifty, SNL should toss the p'litics, an' return to the jests, savvy?"

Arrr, matey! David Marcus be sayin’, as SNL be hittin’ the big five-oh, the scallywags runnin' the show should ponder why they swapped hearty laughs fer political drivel, causin' their crew to jump ship! Har har, a jolly jest they be needin’!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale o' mirth and merriment! This here "Saturday Night Live," much like a weathered ol' ship, be celebratin' its 50th voyage on the treacherous seas o' comedy! A grand party be thrown in New York, though alas, 'tis not for me, yer humble narrator!As the years be passin', SNL be ponderin' the treasure trove of past jests and jabs. Yet, alas, a dark curse befallin' the realm o' late-night chuckles: the dreaded scourge of wokeness! In the dawn of the new millennium, the winds shifted, and the seas turned turbulent with self-censorship, makin' the quest for laughter a perilous endeavor.
Now, it seems SNL be scrubbin’ the decks of past sketches, like a ship lost in the fog! A classic romp with Garret Morris and Julian Bond be banished for its audacious punchline. Aye, the jestin' spirit be shackled, replaced by timid tales of "politically correct" pabulum.
But fret not, for the winds o' change may be blowin’! Recent glimpses o’ humor, such as ol’ Trump takin' jabs at the musical Hamilton, signal a return to the raucous ruckus we be yearnin’ for! Yet, the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers still be sailin' in choppy waters, drownin’ in their obsession with Orange Man. From the crow's nest, we be hopin’ for a bold revival, where laughter reigns supreme once more!
