Live From NY, It's Pretend SNL

Granma

1. "We now go live to the Weekend Update Eye-in-the-Sky Traffic Copter with Naked Rasta Man."

2. "And now, in a CBS News exclusive, a PowerPoint presentation from 1972 conclusively proves that Bush's entire Texas National Guard Service consisted of playing 'Wing Commander' on a Nintendo Playstation. Here's Dan Rather with the story."

3. "And our top story tonight, Bush Sucks and Cheney is the Devil. Bwah ha ha ha... See folks, that's the kind of topical, biting satire we pay Daily Show Writers for. Please support the strike."

4. MSNBC finally comes up with a set design appropriate to the intellectual level of its hosts.

5. Not having the heart to tell Katie Couric how bad she sucks, CBS creates a pretend newscast for her to anchor.

"I don't go on the air without my pre-broadcast Danish. Go ahead, try to find somebody to replace me."

This just in: SNL has not been funny in at least 10 years. Now for sports.

What? It doesn't say weekendupskirt?

The writer's strike left SNL with nobody to write gags. This went unoticed by the audience.

"Minimalism my ass, you're just cheap, Lorne!"

Going for a younger demographic, producers opted to put the female anchor in a Hogwart's uniform.

Hey, you boneheads do know it's a WRITERS' strike, and not a Graphics Artists' strike, right? Boneheads.

We would've put a space inbetween weekend and update, but the guy who did the sign was muttering something about the plane on 911.

In an effort to be environmentally friendly, news staff used both sides of the carboard. The back side says "Stop the Bushitler war machine," and "Halliburton is the real axis of evil."

Management allowed the news teams to budget one dollar for their sets for each thousand viewers. Some news teams were less than thrilled with the result.

Lorne's voiceover; "Sorry folks. That should have been 'Weakened Update' but since the writers are on strike, the cast had to do it themselves..."
