Yeah, it's rarely funny, any more.
I used to tune in for Weekend Update when Seth Meyers was still doing it. But, since he moved on it's become even more partisan that it was, so I rarely bother, any more.

Unfortunately it hasn't been funny in decades.
I do remember laughing my rear end off at Roseanne Roseannadanna, the Widettes and Plumbers Crack among others.

We always went out for dinner on Saturday night with friends in the mid 70s. We made damn sure we were home early enough for SNL. Radner, Balushi, Chase, Murray, Morris, Curtin, Aykroyd and Newman were truly gifted.
We lost interest as the originals started to leave. Haven’t seen it since.

Even back in the heyday, it was seldom funny except for some of the skits. A lot of meh with a little bit of funny every now and then.

I had the chance to attend the first broadcast. A friend on the job's sister worked for the SNL team at the time. But we all turned it down because it meant travelling into NYC around 8pm and we were tired from working that day.
That would have been the only one I'd have liked to see,.

The early ones were great, then it took a dive and then I did watch a couple of seasons when Chris Farley, Adam Sandler and David Spade were on. Haven't seen an episode since then. I do see the occasional clip, but it looks like total garbage now, not even a slight chuckle, just PC political garbage.

I quit watching after Akroyd and Company left
I tried to watch an episode about 10 years but it just made me cringe - not one of them was funny, even a bit
wasn't even aware the show was still on

Once in a while Fox News (can't remember if it's Brett Baer or the AM crew) will show one of the skits that - naturally - dump on Trump.
They're not funny, but I'm not a brainless lib.

They did a funny bit recently about the Amazon Echo for old people. I think the funniest guy on the show is the black guy. He always has a twinkle in his eye that says he knows what's coming and it's funny.
