Lorne Michaels has long been clear Saturday Night Live won’t pick a political side, at least while he’s still in charge. It behooves the late night series to be an equal opportunity offender, but this doesn’t mean that everyone who is spoofed, satirized or parodied enjoys the experience. In fact, over the last couple of years, we’ve heard more and more Republicans complaining about the late night series, Donald Trump included. He’s called it “terrible,” though noted it was in a better place when he hosted back in the day. Now a WAG and journalist have spoken out about how the series isn’t “funny” these days, but their take is a little different.
There’s a long list of great political impressions on SNL, but if you were to ask some of the people who have seen themselves or their loved one satirized, it has not been a delightful experience. In fact, Katie Miller, the wife of Donald Trump’s Chief Deputy of Staff Stephen Miller, was recently vocal about her dislike of the NBC series in an interview with journalist Laura Ingraham.
