i feel like every time i try to watch weekend update that one guy (the one who isn’t scarjo’s husband) makes a misogynistic statement and everyone pretends like it’s a joke for some reason and i quit watching snl to do something much richer with my one wild life
I thought at some point I remember hearing that they sometimes write jokes for each other to make the other look bad which makes it funnier on a meta level, but that’s only if it’s true.
wtf is a chappell roan?
A pop star that has had an enormous rise to popularity this last year. By all accounts, she seems to be a very good person who’s main controversies have been burn out and stress from becoming a household name overnight.
You’d probably recognise a fair few if her songs from just hearing them in public. A lot of songs from her album were very well received.
She also recently upset some fans by implying that she might vote for a fascist in the upcoming presidential election.
No she didn’t
She’s said she’s voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©
But people heard the words “problems on both sides” and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks

This after the try guys thing and the university dean hearings thing make me wonder if there’s an SNL writers challenge to try and find the worst possible take on any given situation.
“We need outrage! We need coverage! We need to make it pop! Pop!! POP!!!”

It honestly wasn’t bad, and I certainly don’t see it as condemning Chappell. Honestly it’s saying it’s ridiculous to expect her to endorse a candidate or to be in the public eye 24/7. It’s very straightforward.
HOSE
