For a long time, a long long time, SNL has not been funny. Some people are funny, like Tina Fey on Weekend Update, or Eddie Murphy doing Gumby, but the show is not funny, and hasn't been since....well, maybe since the original cast. Malcalm Gladwell, he of the Tipping Point, might have the answer why

how did aykroyd get so much ass?

fallonitis. as in...
cute-ish cast members rehash old bits and rely on techniques like increased volume and breaking-character-to-laugh for humor. oh, plus a fat guy.
