How to be the Queer’s offer ever
We celebrate 50 years of “Saturday Night Live”! Throughout this week, we search at the comedy institution late at night with new stories, including lists, articles, interviews and more.
The latest “Saturday Night Live” drawing to go virus – or at least, the latest sent from the friends of this writer who sent him – is the type of joke that you can find easily by roaming gay Stan Twitter. In an episode in December 2024 of the Sketch Chiech series, Jin and Bicin appeared in the weekend update to sing a song about Sabrina Carbnterrs. Or, as I put it in a pre -Muslim form, a song in which Sabrina Carpenter was swinging how no one creates lesbian rumors about her peers Olivia Rodrigo or Taylor Swift.
The scheme has proven somewhat polarizing: many of them (perhaps the elderly) did not get it, while others realized the sense of humor immediately: a younger feeling, iced online, very online. It is an increasingly comic tone, has become a distinctive feature of a long -term NBC chain as it progresses on the golden anniversary.
During its history, “Saturday Night Live” had something from a rocky way with how he dealt with the Queer culture in the show – not particularly surprising for a show that also had a long history of being a club for children of most often straight male. The series presented the first members of the LGBT team relatively early in its race, during the 11th season of 1985 – Terry Sweeini was the first member of the gay team (his wife, because I was also in the writing team), and Danarera Vans was the first lesbian in the show, Although only Sweeini was out of a short -term period.
Unfortunately, both of the two agents were very Short -term: Season 11, Lauren Michaels returned to the show site after several years, a notorious failure, both of whom were left at the end of the season alongside most of the loud team members, which included Robert Downey Junior. Joan Kozak, and Anthony Michael Hall.
By all standards, neither of them had great experiences on “SNL”. According to what Vans (unfortunately died of breast cancer in 1994) was not satisfied with the various stereotypes that she played throughout her presentation, which included parts such as a teenage mother called “Caprini Green Jackson”.
Sweeney had similar complaints: in a 2015 interviewHe said that the writing team does not know how to give it a substance, and that “everything they put to me was either gay or in clouds.” In the book “Live From New York: The Surrounday Night Live”, it is claimed that a former team member of the Chevi Chis Soyini host to the homosexual bullying during his episode in the show, where he planned one where a member of the AIDS team played sick.
After Vans and Sweeny left the show, nearly three decades before the show showed another gay performance in his team. And the spirit of humor, when it (rarely dealt with homosexuals, tends towards mercy and ridicule. There were some bright points (1991 drawing Shamit gay, “ A satirical simulation of commercial ads between beer, is somewhat harmful), but there were also reputable offensive images in which age advanced very badly. There was a notorious “A boy’s bombardment goes camping” A drawing from 1994 that Alec Baldwin appeared as a scout that precedes Adam Sandler’s repeated personality, generated a great controversy of viewers who found her gay and made children’s light. During her time in the show, Cheri OTERI had a repeated figure called “Mickey The Dyke”, which was mostly just a set of wide stereotypes instead of anything actually rooted. One drawing 2011 Each of his plan rested on the idea of āātransient people who take estrogen treatments.
However, the drawings and other characters that have become more loving and remembered well today fall into the trap that the strangest itself is the only line instead of anything deeper. “The homosexual duo”, which ran and turned off from 1996 to 2011, was a fully dependent on the hypothesis of guessing whether the anomalous pair was gay or not. Stefon updated the beloved Bill Hader update on the weekend to the Queer culture with a repeated culture about the “most important club in New York”, but at the end of the day, he was still a caricature of a gay man mostly and performed by straight men.
Only in 2012, when Kate MCKINNON was added to the offer as a distinguished player in Season 38, “SNL” gained the second member of the public gay actors team (and the first member of the gay actors team). Unlike Sweeney or Vance, MCKINNON was not preserved during her period of presentation: In contrast to that, she was the biggest star in this series during her long term, and she did everything from political plagiarism like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren to original, such as smoking chain A foreign plot The scene.
Almost at that time – as a support for gay rights, it has grown, and its peak in the codification of gay marriage in 2015 – more gay writers joined the exhibition writing employees. The most prominent of which is Chris Kelly, who joined the show as a writer in 2011, was promoted to the supervising writer in 2014 during the fortieth season of the show, and in the end he became a co -writer with his writing partner Sarah Schneider during the forty -fourth season. The first gay writer in the program during his term, many drawings of Macinon and Dadi Bryant wrote, including sir “Dams and fat”, “ Or unforgettable, widely loved, and very longing 2017 Totino’s Pizza Roll Super Bowl Parody Christine Stewart starring.
In the middle of 2010, the LGBT book began more and more prominent on the employees to appear, most notably Julio Torres, who performed an abnormal surreal humor to some fine graphics from 2016 to 2019 such as “beloved children wells, strange, amazing,” “Actress,” That starred Emma Stone as an actress in gay porn. The graphics written by Queer have written, and they also significantly feel a significant gay: they definitely use anger in its humor but deepen a real experience.
In 2019, writer Bowen Yang was promoted to a team member after a year as a writer at the exhibition. Since its employment, other gay team members have become more common, including Punkie Johnson and Molly Kearney, the first not built in the show (both left since “Saturday Night Live.) Good for years thanks to his successful “Las Cultuistas”-is now the most famous member of the actors’ team (outside the longest Kennan Thompson), and certainly the most exhibit members, with roles in films like “Al-Ashrar”.
Yang’s employment has seen a remarkable shift in the allergies to display, which began to engage frequently with a specific type of humor on the Internet. One of the first examples was fun (and for TV forms, shockingly dirty) “Sarah Lee” Sketch from 2019, which witnessed that Harry Styles plays a gay trained role for a good baked company that is wrongly left tweets thirsty from the company, which gave us the phrase it deserves immediately, “toxic in society must be eliminated.” Then there are drawings roaming on the Pass the pop culture such as “M3GAN” and its popularity with the Queer community, which clearly comes from a person who spent hours to pass and read Twitter. This can be something that the show takes for (it has become a tender to definitely accuse a tax on the “SNL” graphics), but you can know that the graphics like this and the other that throws Travis Kelce Low gay friend straight friend It comes from a person who has a sharp eye on the culture of the stranger.
Despite all the progress made by “Saturday Night Live” in humor, the show is not perfect, and its strange representation is not. The most reputable, the presentation continues to controversy in court by calling the comedian Dave Chapheel, who has become known for repeated repeated jokes in his collections, for the show twice since the “closest” controversial time. In 2024, the show also attracted attention when Shen Gillis hosted the show; Gillis was employed, then appointed, and then was shot from the actors’ team in 2019 after Internet users revealed many racist jokes against Asian and homosexuality from podcasts. The comedy actor, even temporarily, after five years, left his hair as if it were a backward collapse in the worst way. Although the show now has a lot of writers and performance artists, there are still gaps in his representation, including zero stars crossing in his record.
However, progress can be made, a “SNL” rich record – from a largely straight program to one of the most reliable gay shows – is more than evidence.
