Our guest hosts raise some eyebrows with questions like: <ul> <li>Is Weekend Update Fake News?</li> <li>Does SNL upset dominant paradigms or trap us in political bubbles?</li> <li>When it comes to SNL, how can we tell the difference between satire, smart-assery, and seriousness?</li> <li>Is the Ladies Man too stupid for moral responsibility?</li> <li>What is the benefit of jokes that cause outrage?</li> <li>The Church Lady has a bad case of moral superiority.
