“Saturday Night Live,” you can do it — better.
Comedian Rob Schneider burst out on the scene on “Saturday Night Live” in the 1990s, but nearly three decades later, he thinks the hit NBC comedy series is bursting the punchline when it comes to the Trump White House.
The 54-year-old San Francisco native, who was part of the show’s now-legendary cast that included Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, David Spade and Adam Sandler, says the show today is no different in some ways — yet when it comes to politics, they are too obviously “showing their hand” by consistently bashing President Trump and Republicans.
“The fun of ‘Saturday Night Live’ was always you never knew which way they leaned politically,” he told the Daily News. “You kind of assumed they would lean more left and liberal, but now the cat’s out of the bag they are completely against Trump, which I think makes it less interesting because you know the direction the piece is going.”
ROB SCHNEIDER: ‘SNL’ ruining the joke… Too political; Baldwin hard to watch… PC culture ugly; If don’t go party line you’re out
