Talk about chutzpah. Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary show tonight featured a bitter attack on Fox News for purveying “fake news”…even as SNL’s network, NBC, continues to sink in ratings thanks to Lyin’ Brian Williams ongoing Chopper Whopper scandal and other tall tales.
Jane Curtin delivered the Fox-bashing, with lib twins Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as backup.
Jane Curtin: "I used to be the only pretty blonde woman reading the fake news. Now there's a whole network for that." #FoxNews #SNL #SNL40

"On SNL I used to be the only pretty blonde reading fake news… Now there's an entire network devoted to that."– Jane Curtain on FoxNews

Unintentionally funniest, snort-inducing joke of the entire event.

So, #SNL makes fun of @FoxNews for being "fake" news, when they're just down the hall from Brian Williams' old office… #SNL40

You'd think #SNL40 could go 1 night without jabbing @FoxNews & reminding me why I never watch #SNL any more.#ChangedChannel#BrianWilliams

@redsteeze if #SNL40 really wanted to be brave tonight they'd make a joke about science denying anti-evolution Islam

#SNL making jokes about Fox news isn't bravery. Make one about Brian Williams. That's courage.

At least Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carrey had the courage to dip their toes where the progressive suck-ups wouldn’t dare to go.
