Dear Saturday Night Live,

What happened to you? You used to be so young with your humor being so witty and natural. Now it seems that you've gotten older and your did not age well it seems since now your humor seems forced and your wit has lost it's well timed feyness. I remember watching you light up the televisions and faces across the world, every word hung on to like a baby to it's mother--every joke met with an appropriate laugh or chuckle. Those years I spent looking up to you, wanting to be part of your glory and prestige, are but distant memories one can never venture to. You were on the fast track to greatness where you built your home using your bare hands and raw talent only building steam as you went on--Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd. Gilda Radner, Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus,Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Ben Stiller, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler, and Mike Myers-- all were comedic legends and went on to have successful careers even after their SNL days, sadly the rate of excellence went down after that. Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan, Colin Quinn, Chris Parnell, and Tracy Morgan were all funny, don't get me wrong, but they were really the last great cast era of SNL with the likes of Jimmy Fallon, and Horatio Sanz bridging the gap to next era. I don't know what happened, if it's the writers or the cast to blame but, sadly, the new SNL is marginally unfunny in comparison to the old SNL. Again don't be mistaken I do find a lot of the new cast funny including but not limited to: Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Tina Fey (originally a writer for SNL), Bill Hader, and Andy Samberg, but they're hardly anything close to anyone I named prior to Will Ferrell. Maybe it's not the cast (because they're all pretty funny), and maybe it's not even the writers, perhaps it's the outrageously fast evolving society that really is to blame for SNL being "unfunny" in a sense. SNL just isn't as big as it was before and it's glory is slowly fading like Britney Spear's career/life. SNL used to be a lauching pad for comdies and was the reason why many of the comedians became huge stars after almost like a trampoline--but after a while trampolines aren't as bouncy and they turned out to be kind of dangerous, some people threw them out or just left them out to become part of nature. The only thing worth watching are the digital shorts that are put out by SNL anymore, other than that you won't catch me coming home on a saturday night to watch SNL or even "DVR'ing or Tivo'ing" it--and I gotta say, it's kind of sad. I miss my trampoline



Ps: I really do miss my trampoline, it was sweet.
