A New Book Reveals Uproar At “SNL” Over Trump’s 2015 Hosting Gig, And It’s Seriously Messy


“When Michaels had booked Trump to host in 2015, he, like most people, considered the candidacy a big joke,” the author writes. “But it was a lucrative joke. Trump was a ratings magnet: people liked to watch him, either in spite of or because of his noxiousness.”

Amid the internal uproar surrounding Trump’s win, Lorne is quoted as saying about his younger staff members: “It’s the hardest thing for me to explain to this generation that the show is nonpartisan.”
