The cast of “Saturday Night Live” weren’t the only people live from the show’s New York Studio during its Season 46 premiere over the weekend.

The New York Times reports on Tuesday that members of the “Saturday Night Live” studio audience who attended the show’s taping last weekend were paid, effectively making them cast members. Though New York state guidelines prohibit the public from attending live television shows, the “Saturday Night Live” team’s loophole allowed the show to be filmed in accordance with the state’s reopening guidelines, which were enacted to slow the spread of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.


Progressive Democratic hypocrisy in a nutshell. No one actually believes the 24/7 covid-19 bioterrorism political campaign. It's all is just political terrorism and Democrats know that.

I think in general people are just willing to make exceptions for themselves because they're selfish. That's why good policy is important.
 
Don't expect any criticism from Joe Biden - as he rants at YOU about covid-19 rules.

This is effing hilarious. I also found their signing entertainment rather funny. When they are biased against Trump they cry it's just comedy but then they allow a very blatantly biased singing entertainment political message to go onstage and now they can't claim it was comedy. Their complete and total bias was very obvious.
 
This sounds like something you would have supported last week Joko, as long as they weren't wearing masks.

Creative I guess. Not exactly efficient though. Sounds like they shortcut the employment paperwork too, since the people didn't know they were going to be paid. Time for an I-9 audit? I'll bet the payroll department is not looking forward to the tax filings
 
why don't they just do like Trump and do whatever they want??

You should, at least, include the open, if you are going to rant:

I didn’t realize SNL was part of the DNC.

OK but it is near impossible to get tickets, it is a small audience, and most of the people there already are connected.
