Steve Martin Under Fire for 1978 SNL King Tut Skit

[1srelluc]

Can you tell me when SNL was actually funny?

I won't bother, it would be lost upon you anyway.

I'm surprised the PC police haven't lined up the cast of In Living Color and shot them by now.

Two snaps in a circle!

Steve Martin's skits were the only thing that was ever funny on SNL. The rest of it was mean political rants and drug promotion.

We need that famine now. The under 40’s Karens will perish quickly.

People can be fuckin' stupid...

Stopped watching SNL a long time a ago but became aware of Kristen Wig and she is hilarious.

She's ok. The only present-day female actresses that really makes me laugh is Melissa McCarthy. She's not on SNL though I don't think

That SNL thing has always been way overrated. Sporadic humor at most. Somehow it managed to generate a niche following and most people who watched it did so just because they thought it made them cool.

That was about the only thing that was funny to me in that whole fucking show post Belushi

The Karens and Kyles will perish from the Earth

The public school brainwashing is rearing its totally ugly head

I'm afriad we're too late to stop it

When i saw "Kyles," I thought it was "Lyle," which made me think of this SNL skit that would no doubt be banned today:

This SNL cartoon would cause Wokster hysteria today.
They would be demanding congressional hearings.

In my opinion, if this is the only way that something historical can be remembered, so be it. At the end of the day, it is better than no acknowledgement at all ever. To me, all help should be appreciated no matter how it is delivered.

God bless you and Steve always!!!

P.S. Go here another piece of flawlessness that got released that same year. I want the late beautiful precious masterpiece of a gentleman back from the dead on the dip sticky double so that I can eat him alive, I love him SO much!!!

Everyone in the younger generation gets a participation award for being a humorless-asshole-zombie!!

Steve Martin is a Trump Hating celeb anyway. Let his own party cancel him out lol I wont feel bad cause he asked for it.

I am enjoying his show with Martin Short on Hulu, Only Murders in the Building.

I was just going to say this.

I'm confused ... are people upset because Steve Martin (a Caucasian) is playing a sub-Saharan African man who lived 3,000 years ago?

For the record, King Tut isn't "Sub-Saharan."

Also, Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian; she was mostly Greek, and a descendent of Philip of Macedon.
