Saturday Night Live (often shortened to just SNL) was an immensely popular sketch-comedy show in the 1970s on NBC, but as it became more politically correct it predictably became less funny in the past decade. SNL's attempt to spoof Sarah Palin was pathetic but widely promoted by the remainder of the liberal media.
In the past, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, the show turned some of its minor players into feature film actors including:
- Dan Akroyd (The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters)
- Eddie Murphy (Coming to America, Trading Places and The Nutty Professor)
- Mike Meyers (Wayne's World, Austin Powers, and Shrek)
- Julia Louis Dreyfuss (Seinfeld)
- Adam Sandler (50 First Dates and Happy Gilmore
- Harry Shearer (The Simpsonsand This is Spinal Tap)
