Donald Trump hosted SNL.

In the past, it's been a mixed bag for politicians. I always believed McCain conceded defeat on SNL when he appeared in a sketch near election day to say he was out of money. Fey, as Palin, went "rogue" and tried to sell her own t-shirts.

Obama made almost no make in his brief appearance.

HRC, I think, humanized herself very well.

What did you think of the episode and of the impact on the Trump campaign?


To me, he was jocular, but he allowed all of the old jokes about him to continue. He never attempted to be much of anything other than what SNL has painted him as for decades. He came off rich, unable to explain how he was going to provide the prosperity he talks about, and disconnected from the audience of the show. I don't think he hurt himself, but I doubt he'll see a bump from the appearance.

Wonder what the ratings were?
I missed the first 20 minutes/half hour, (Fell asleep in my chair, woke up, searched for the remote and switched over before 11 o'clock) so I didn't see the opening or the "monolog" or the first few skits. He wasn't on screen for most of what I saw, and what there was, was no better or worse than any other host that isn't an actor or comedian.

I watched about the first half minute of his monologue, and then switched off. It was the same old annoying shtick.
 
It was the BEST episode ever. Donald Trump proves he's a RATINGS MACHINE. I thought he was EXCELLENT. It would have been just terrible to see another candidate host. They're too boring and low energy.

He is truly talented in multiple dimensions.
 
didn't watch it, not because of Trump. I just don't watch SNL. On the (seemingly) rare occasion they do a really good skit I can catch it online a few days later..
 
I recorded the show on my PVR and then watched (parts of it) later. Trump was mostly very unfunny. About the only thing I laughed at was the Drunk Uncle sketch. The Jamaican Friend gave me a couple of chuckles and I roared my ass off uproariously at the extremely hilarious "singing" act; though I don't think that's what was intended. :o
