What did we expect when butt sniffing liberals have to tell the history of one of their favorite propaganda organs? In 1976 the show started out as being irreverent and bucking the orthodoxy of society. Now they are the humorless orthodoxy that has been rendered obsolete with the “clapture” and ideological purity of approved humor. I’m watching this for the cringe factor as watching a 70 year old boomer trying to fit into his skinny jeans he wore 55 years ago.
Nice "Fridays!" reference there, Jimbo. I remember Fridays! were when I first saw Michael Richards. I think the skit had him playing with toys in the dirt or something like that. And, as a 12-year-old who would play with toys in the dirt, I saw him as a highly relatable adult. I thought "Man, when I grow up, I am so gonna keep playing with these damn toys in the damn dirt!" Or something like that.
About immigration: I hear peeps saying "You just can't deport 10M people! How is that even possible!?!"
Funny thing, I don't recall a single person, absolutely not one single individual ever, asking for permission to import 10M people. Or did I miss something because that was happening during football season and I'm a massive Oregon Duck fan who has been known to put his life on hold during that time?
I seem to recall ABC(?) has a Howard Cosell show called Saturday Night Live, and so NBC had to call their show NBC Saturday Night for the first season or two. As well-known as Cosell was, he couldn't beat NBC's ratings, and soon it was NBC and SNL only.
They should have just done what "Kids in The Hall" did with "Brain Candy", it would have at least been fun.

(I had to check YouTube; yes, I was right. Here's the skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIUxoytpcxE)

I still think of him as that kid playing war in the backyard, not as Kramer.
