Great back in the good old days, now it sucks.

This show used to be so great, but now it is sooooo boring. Even though Will Ferrell adds a tiny bit of humor to the show, it still doesn't make up for the crappy jokes. This show was good, until Norm MacDonald left. Go watch the old episodes shown on Comedy Central for good SNL.
