Commentary: 'SNL' deserves the Shane Gillis backlash. It's been courting liberals for years, writes LorraineAli.
A real laugh riot. If it were 1862.
The once-edgy sketch comedy series has a history of lampooning those who deal in hateful rhetoric — exactly like the frequent slurs made by the guy they just hired.” mock campaign ad from 2016: Aimed at the white supremacist voting block, it pictures Americans going about their everyday business, such as ironing their KKK hoods, burning books in a fire and wearing swastika armbands.
A sketch featuring a faux panel of Hollywood women addressing sexual assault, recounting their #MeToo moments as a scathing commentary on Harvey Weinstein and his ilk: “Pandora’s box is open now, and Pandora is pissed,” said McKinnon’s character.Which is why it’s warranted that “SNL” is catching more flak for Gillis’ casting than, say, Netflix has for giving Dave Chappelle’s recent comedy special “Sticks & Stones” a platform.
Think of McKinnon as Jeff Sessions, whose intolerance of the gay community and fear of women is comedic gold. Or Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer screaming at the press corps: “Moose-Lambs!” Or Tina Fey’s thick-as-a-brick Sarah Palin.
