SNL used to be outlandishly funny. Now it is not funny at all.
Daybonn
The “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” were the best and all went on to stardom,

This was when Saturday Night Live (not called this until later) was truly funny, not a long, drawn out liberal political statement intolerant of conservatives.

Garrett Morris never used sign language. He only repeated in a shout what Chevy said at the end, the recap of the top story.

This was when SNL was funny and fun. It has since become political and uninteresting.

if you go back and watch complete episodes of the first few seasons, you will see that very many of the skits flopped. ..just flopped. but what we nostalgically remember are the good skits. this is not to say it wasn't a great show because it was.
