Who do you think was watching SNL with me when I was 16 in 1997? My Boomer parents. |

This skit is 1998-2000 they made a movie in 2000. Genx and elder millennials. |
You are delusional.$800M settlement for abuse yesterday. Enough said. |
I'm a boomer, admittedly, and I got it. It was funnier than anything Trump said. Totally in the spirit of the Al Smith dinner. I mean, if Trumr can swear and tell dirty jokes... |
The character was debuted in 1995. It's literally on Google. So bizarre that you assume Boomer adults were not watching SNL in the mid to late 90s. My mom was only 40! I watching SNL every week and I'm 43 (elder Millennial). |
But it’s an insulting, bigoted parody of a Catholic woman. You do get that, right? What’s next? Is she going to send a video with Chappelle playing Tyrone Biggums to an NAACP fundraiser or a video with some white guy with a sombrero doing a heavy Mexican accent to a La Rasa fundraiser? I just don’t see why her campaign would set this up, especially a week after the Gretchen Whitmer Doritos video, unless they weren’t trying to ditch all hopes at winning over any Catholics, who make up a very large percentage of voters in states she needs to win like PA and Mich. |
| Kamala was where she needed to be - campaigning, not pandering to Catholics who were not going to base their vote on whether she attended this dinner or not. If they support her, this will not change their mind. If they support Trump, her not showing doesn't matter. |
| I’m Catholic, Gen X, I think it is funny and way less awkward than expected. |
Raise money for charities. |

Jim is not a trump supporter he is a staunch critic, so this is valid https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-is-jim-gaffigan-trump-supporter-everything-comedian-said-ex-president-past-al-smith-dinner-speech |

Come on, this is fair game for Gaffigan. He's playing to his audience and it's not cruel/shaming to point out facts. And I say this as someone who believe Trump's comments - and even his presence - were beyond the pale for a religious fundraiser for a Church so focused on pontificating morality. |
| Anyone else thought the Kamala video was "WEIRD"? |
