Jews and Others Are Calling for Lorne Michaels and SNL to Apologize for Sketch That Mocked Concerns Over Campus Calls for Intifada and Violence Against Jews

Some Jews are demanding that SNL producer Lorne Michaels apologize for this sketch in which he bent over backwards to find that the Jews were just as worthy as mockery in the campus calls for intifada.

I've linked the sketch before, but here it is again, before getting to the article:

"Saturday Night Live" is facing mounting calls to apologize -- and even be officially investigated -- over its tone-deaf sketch making light of university presidents refusing to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews.

"This is really appalling," Dr. Sara Yael Hirschhorn, a "historian of Israel and Jews" and a visiting professor at the University of Haifa in Israel, wrote of Saturday's cold open.

"NBC do you think antisemitism is acceptable as the punchline of a joke about American society?" the historian asked.

"This needs to be investigated by the [Federal Communications Commission]," she urged, tagging the federal agency.

Many demanded an apology for the sketch, which poked fun at US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for demanding the university leaders answer to outrage at their failure to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews on campuses.

One SNL cast member backed out of the sketch, due to feeling "uncomfortable" about casting those opposed to antsemitism as the bad guys.

Former "Saturday Night Live" star Cecily Strong backed out of playing Rep. Elise Stefanik on the show this past weekend because she was "uncomfortable" with the heavily criticized cold-open sketch, sources confirm to The Post.

Strong, 39, appeared as a guest in the dress rehearsal ahead of the live show, then changed her mind "last minute" about playing Stefanik in the sketch, which mocked last week's congressional hearings on antisemitism on college campuses. Newcomer Chloe Troast replaced Strong on air.

The opening sketch is always the last one to be written and Saturday's was slightly rushed, according to sources. Indeed, there was a mix-up with the nameplates in front of stars Heidi Gardner (playing now-resigned UPenn president Elizabeth Magill) and Chloe Fineman (playing MIT president Sally Kornbluth), later corrected in the online version.

Strong's guest appearance would have been her first time back since leaving in December 2022, after 11 seasons on the NBC show.

A TV source told The Post: "Cecily was uncomfortable with the sketch."

She doesn't say why she was "uncomfortable" with it, but what other reason would there be? It can't be that she was uncomfortable with it due to it not being funny. The show was barely ever funny when she was there, and hasn't been funny since 2017. Cecily Strong was the show's "star" before Catherine McKinnon dethroned her, and participated in all sorts of riotously unfunny political sketches.

So why would she bail on this one, except for a self-preservation instinct kicking on telling her, "Don't participate in a pro-Hamas sketch"?

Trump broke the left's brains so hard that even when the left and it's allies are clearly in the wrong -- as when the left's ally Hamas rapes and murders 1200+, and then their allies on campus defend and justify those rapes and murders, and call for more -- they cannot bring themselves to condemn it. They can only laugh about how silly the stupid racist conservatives are for being racist against Brown People.

No matter how awful the left's behavior, the unfunny clowns at Saturday Night Live have to write their sketches to make sure that Republicans turn out to be the bad guys and the left turns out to be the good guys.

Even if they're calling for the murder of Jews.


Update: Lorne Michaels is name-dropping starfucking asshole who is still living in 1977:

32 Michaels has three children and has been married three times.During the early 1960s, he began a relationship with Rosie Shuster, daughter of his comedy mentor Frank Shuster of the Wayne and Shuster comedy team, who later worked with him on Saturday Night Live as a writer. Michaels and Shuster were married in 1971 and divorced in 1980. He married model Susan Forristal in 1981, which ended in divorce in 1987. Michaels is married to Alice Barry, his former assistant. The pair wed in 1991

41 >>The show was barely ever funny when she was there, and hasn't been funny since 2017.

Objectively, SNL hasn't been funny since the early to mid-aughts, and it became objectively partisan when they brought back Tina Fey simply to mock Sarah Palin.

There have been skit here and there that were mildly amusing and some that were genuinely funny like that Washington Weights and Measures skits, but SNL is absolutely dreadful to watch.

Great soundtrack, and an interesting point of view we Muricas don't have.

91 SNL doesn't have a market cornered any more because there are too many hilarious sketch comedy channels on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. They offer nothing you can't get from your internet video service or choice beyond the celeb guest hosts, so if you don't care about Hollywood "stars" there's no point to watching SNL.

@algore
COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

185 Don't know if true but...

||When Macdonald appeared on Letterman's show, he didn't specifically give a reason for his firing, but he does mention it was somewhat out of Lorne Michaels's control. Instead, the blame rested on NBC executive Don Ohlmeyer, and by the sound of it, Ohlmeyer wasn't a fan of Macdonald's brand of humor. At the time, the comedian didn't harbor any ill will toward Ohlmeyer, even going so far as to call him a good man.

Macdonald didn't indulge in any hot gossip. But rumors persisted that his firing had to do with a running bit Macdonald had on "Weekend Update" where he would make fun of O.J. Simpson by telling jokes about how he allegedly murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Often, these references came entirely out of left field.

Ohlmeyer was apparently good friends with Simpson, and he didn't take kindly to the plethora of jokes at his expense. In fact, the bad blood carried over even after Macdonald left "SNL" (via IndieWire). Ohlmeyer allegedly told Conan O'Brien not to book Macdonald any more on his late-night talk show, but O'Brien defended his friend to the executive. The conversation ended with Ohlmeyer telling O'Brien something along the||

253 OFF TOPIC: Netflix seems to be down.

I can stream just fine from a cell phone running on the Verizon network. When I attempt to stream using a PC I get a D7111-1331 error code and a message that reads "Pardon for the Interruption. Title is not available instantly. Try another title." When I attempt to steam using a smart TV I get a check wi-fi error screen I never seen before and a tvq-pb-101 (1.9.0) error code.

This is the only service that is foobar.

255 Since they cannot seem to pack the court, their only alternative is to railroad Justices Thomas and Alito to get them kicked out.

Fuck the Democrat Left to hell.

The Left does not want the SCOTUS to rule that the executive branch and its agents have NO immunity to prosecution or civil suit - they want the SCOTUS to rule that only someone named D J Trump doesn't have that - that isn't going to happen is my guess.

Meanwhile republicans in congress vote out other republicans. Because, "that's not who we are" or something.

Frankly in an ideal world they repeal sovereign immunity entire and the federal government implodes as an activist mechanism.

@JenGriffinFNC
46 top former National Security officials sign letter urging Congress to reauthorize FISA 702 legislation needed to fight terrorism, fentanyl traffickers and cyber attacks. “We cannot hamstring the U.S. intelligence community,” they write. “Section 702 saves American lives.”

Crisis #1, 46 is four short of the number of signers against Trump

That's what they want you to think.
What they are really doing is working their way back to being safely inconsequential.

Sven - you and I are in agreement here - I hope - nay, prey that the SCOTUS rules that executive branch employees and pollical appointees are not immune to prosecution or civil suit in their pursuing their proscribed duties - this alone will clear out the federal government and reduce the work force to no one....

Wow. I'd say it hasn't been funny since probably the 90's, at the latest.

264 "It’s on at 11:30 Saturday night which means it has no competition. And it costs nothing to make. It’s profitable and will keep going forever."

Before SNL, NBC aired Johnny Carson Tonight Show reruns in that timeslot. (Those really "cost nothing to make".) Around 1974-75 Carson demanded that all reruns be saved for weeknights so that he could take more time off. NBC needed something to fill the Saturday late night timeslot, and the rest is history. NBC could probably just air SNL reruns in that timeslot for the next 50 years.

265 89 Catherine McKinnon has never made me laugh, and her acting doesn't work for me either. Don't understand how she became the #1 on the show.

She's queer. That and playing the piano for Hillary. Gack.
