Does SNL do less political humor than they used to?

It seems like they do. Maybe it's about time they started reading the New York
Times for sketch ideas instead of Entertainment Weekly.

Are you kidding? If anything, it's more. Out of all the openings we had this
season, only 4 (including Giuliani in the Reese Witherspoon opening) were
non-political.

Actually, they do a lot of humor that they think is political, but it's mostly
pretty obvious gags and uninspired imitations by Darrell Hammond. I guess these
guys never heard of the word "subversive."
