Saturday Night live is a T.V show that was created by Lorne Michaels. SNL (Saturday night live) has been airing since the fall of 1975, and nothing has changed, SNL is full of comedy. The comedy that is shown is usually focused of politics and culture. Sometimes they take serious topics and turn them into jokes, such as using satire, a long with a ton of sarcasm. Other times the show comes up with their own topics and performs skits. In many cases this show has also taken popular T.V shows that catch the viewers attention, and do a reenactment on the show using satire. Saturday night live is constantly taking racial aspects, funny topics already, and changes them into a comedy, or a parody of their own. Each episode that is shown has a celebrity guest, and they join in the annual way the show always has opened. This show has actually become so popular in America that many different countries such as Germany, Spain, South Korea, Japan, and Canada, all have their own version of SNL. All of them are comedy shows as well. One of the skits that took place and shows satire was when Amy Schumer took gun enthusiasts and turned it into a parody. Things like this are done because they take a serious topic and it is easier to get across the message to people if they turn around what is actually happening and turn it into a comedy. This makes it easier for people to understand what is actually going on, and in an interesting way. Above is a video showing Amy with the gun laws. This skit is showing one problem that we are facing, with everyone's different opinions on it, and changing it around for people to see it in a more enjoyable way that they can connect to.
