I still have no idea how he got the SNL gig. Thousands try for it and many had to be better. I guess every team needs a towel boy.
He started on SNL in 1988. WGAF !?

I’d be cool with SNL just being 30 min of Weekend Update, Che and Jost are by far the best part of the show
The problem with political comedy right now is that Trump himself is a clown. He makes making fun of him so easy and jokes so low hanging fruit that anyone can do it. Hell just reading his tweets verbatim can become a joke. It's become lazy comedy at this point.

Yeah, writing your own material is the very premise of being a comedian.
In the context of SNL, I’m not sure I buy that.
but if you're employed at SNL, you're either a comedic writer/stand up comedian or a professional improv comedian, and often both. they're writing/collaborating on creating new stuff all the time, not just showing up hitting some marks with good timing
