When I watch a recent clip from “Saturday Night Live,” I usually scroll to the comments to look for the first comment in which the writer shares their belief that “SNL” used to be funny.

It turns out there are a lot of openminded people willing to meekly share how, in their humble opinion, “SNL,” now early into its 49th season as NBC’s seminal late-night sketch comedy, doesn’t seem quite as good as it was when they first watched.
