Let's be honest, SNL this year hasn't been that great. Sure, Tina Fey was a dead ringer for Sarah Palin and the political skits were killer. The news segments are excellent as well. The Paul Rudd episode was rather funny but it was assisted by a splendid cameo by Justin Timberlake.
That being said, the rest of the year has sucked. Last night's episode with Alec Baldwin was unfunny. The show is lacking any kind of originality these days. Where's this generation's Church Lady, Wayne's World or Opera Man? All in all, despite having one of the most talented casts in years, the writing has reached new lows.
I think that as next year dawns, people will realize that SNL got lucky with the presidential election this past year and that it is on its way down and is not on the upswing.
