This is my commentary on the Political material on the show. The full sketches are posted at: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/

1. I wish SNL would just go off the air

streaming control freaks they are, 'not available from your area'? (like they're might be 12 people outside of A'Merca who give a rats ass about SNL) just show the clips or go away SNL, and take the CD industry with you.

5. Wishes

WOW! You just wasted one of your three wishes on me! You've only got two left, so be careful what you say. If I were writing this story, I'd have you wake up to find that I was given my own show by a major network, and no longer had time for YouTube.

3. I think your videos would garner more praise

if you did the commentary after the video.
For one it would let the people who want to see the video see the video and if they wanted your take on the issues they can stick around and watch it toward the end.
This would also help the viewer form their own opinion of what they saw and then compare it with yours.
You could do a 5 second opener,play the video,then comment.
Just my 2 cents.

4. Good thought!

That's exactly what I did last year when I was commenting on the show, but NBC/Universal, and many of the other large media corporations, have gotten extremely tough about protecting their copy written material. I am a YouTube Partner and would loose that status if NBC were to lodge a complaint against me with YouTube. The main reason I post these videos is as a way to discuss the importance of what they do on SNL each week, for while its true that much of the show is often pretty bad (last night's show wasn't terribly good) there is also no denying that they are the kings of Political Satire sketch comedy. NO ONE on the air does what they do. Monologues are great, as are guys doing "fake" news shows, but they don't have the weekly impact on the political world as do that the SNL political pieces.
