Pat lives!

In the 1990’s when Saturday Night Live was still funny, one of the popular and recurring skits was called “It’s Pat!” Cast member Julia Sweeney dressed up as a character where nobody could determine it’s gender, but nobody wanted to ask “Pat” its gender. Fast forward 30 years and SNL hired Molly Kearney, it’s first non binary cast member. To be honest, she looks like me! Fat with long hair!

SNL needs to hire talent that is first and foremost: funny. Years ago, there was a controversy that there were not enough black females on the show. So; instead of telling everyone to go to hell, SNL buckled and got some unfunny forgettable person. Saturday Night Live needs to realize its an institution. 40 years later you still have grown men driving a 1974 Dodge Monaco pretending to be the Blues Brothers! It is supposed to parody American society, not just insult a certain group of people. I forsee SNL limping to the 50th year and calling it a day.
