Two outlets report findings from an analysis by Media Research Center’s NewsBusters about political humor on “Saturday Night Live” this season. According to the analysis cited by both sources, 91% of jokes delivered during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment target conservatives. The reporting also states that President Donald Trump is the most frequently mocked figure among those jokes. In addition, both sources say the analysis found that 82% of characters appearing in “SNL’s” cold opens mock Trump or other Republican figures. The reports frame these figures as evidence of a consistent pattern of political targeting across multiple SNL formats—namely, “Weekend Update” and cold opens—rather than isolated moments. Both accounts attribute the underlying numbers and interpretation to NewsBusters, and neither source provides methodological details beyond referencing the analysis and its cited percentages. The story therefore centers on the reported distribution of political references and mockery within SNL’s comedy segments during the season in question.
