"Saturday Night Live" is "a bad thing for comedians" says journalist Seth Simons. He has a point Simons is credited as the first journalist to surface the clips that led to Gillis’ ouster from “SNL,” although others swiftly followed. But over a decade of covering comedy’s intersection with labor, inequality and extremism has made him an expert in understanding the outsize power Michaels holds in the comedy world and American life more broadly. He discussed this with Salon, along with explaining why the caliber of impersonations that define “Saturday Night Live” in an election year are not merely meaningless, but may have a sinister influence on how we relate to our lawmakers.
