I found myself watching Saturday Night Live last night, and wondered why it was still on the air. I watched it for "U2" (they were amazing) and enjoyed "Weekend Update," but otherwise it was a waste of time. SNL has been a launchpad for amazing careers including Eddie Murphy, Dave Spade, Chevy Chase, Will Ferrell, Dan Ackroyd, Tina Fey (she's the funniest one on the show) and dozens of others, but it hasn't been funny in a long time.
I'm a fan of Seth Godin and his "Safe is Risky" mantra. Why hasn't Lorne Michaels done something to shake up this show? I've been watching this since the 80's and it has never changed. So much more could be done with this talented group.
