I think SNL in the US keeps its ratings as it's become a cultural touchstone
something people have watched since childhood. The actual show is patchy, not nearly the pace and standard of the better british sketch shows. This has none of that support, it's a tough ask. The US show also leans heavily on satirical impressions, i wonder if there's much talent among this lot to do a farage or a king chuck

I sometimes watch a bit of John Stewart, but I could never sit through the whole show.
American studio audiences are just so fucking loud. Even if Stephen Colbert were funny I still couldn’t stand the whooping and screaming.
Apparently some of them even cheer and applaud in the cinema. That’s just weird.
