I missed a lot of more recent SNL episodes, I cant really say why? I wonder what percentage of the audience is Gen Z too. Because SNL lives on cultural commentary, perhaps they are in this weird position where its mostly millennials looking for a bit of the nostalgic feeling OR not vibing with the gen-z geared skits, and this leads them to try and stay with the older cast members... very very interesting take on this though! everyone always says the old days were better but honestly the Business Garden Inn skit with Billie Eilish is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life and we rewatch it frequently 😂
oh that's such an interesting thought too - it makes me think about (another) Billie sketch where they try to replicate the chaos of tiktok and it falls flat because how do you satirize something that is in & of itself wild & ridiculous?

if most people find their comedians online in digital shorts how does the format of a live show translate for gen z ppl who aren't used to live shows etc. this could be it's own piece tbh
This is a Master class on SNL. Thank you
you're very welcome 💕
