If this “spinoff” continues to be rude, crude, and socially unacceptable to our President then I will NOT be watching. If they can create something new and comical they I might give it a look. So far it looks like it will be a show just for the “dumbocrats”. Can you please find more characters like Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, and all of that cast?

Is this same Chevy Chase who continually made fun of President Gerald Ford by stumbling and falling all the place? SNL has always been pro Democrat since it debuted in 1975.
