Quote:Saturday Night Live has taken a rare break from mocking President Donald Trump, with one segment even admitting it’s been a good week for the administration.

Unusually, both guest host Amy Schumer’s monologue and the episode’s cold open avoided politics – a rarity in the Trump era, in which Alec Baldwin typically appears to impersonate the president.

The Weekend Update segment devoted only three minutes to politics, and the episode’s only other jab at Trump was a throwaway line during a parody of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The episode opened with several of the cast members’ mothers joining them on the set in honor of Mother’s Day. Several of the moms made fun of SNL for its habit of piling on Trump.

Kenan Thompson’s mom told him that she likes the show, ‘except for all of the political stuff’, adding ‘We get it!’

When Mikey Day reminded his mother that he was in a production of The Crucible in high school, she replied that the play about the Salem witch trials was ‘a lot like the witch hunt against President Trump.’

‘Enough with the Trump jokes,’ said Luke Nell’s mother. ‘And why doesn’t SNL ever talk about crooked Hillary!?’

Chris Redd’s mother was fed up with the political jokes as well: ‘I don’t understand why everyone’s focused on Trump at all when you should be focused on Jesus,’ she said.

The country is growing tired of all the Trump bashing. As for SNL, they will be back to bashing Trump next week.

Eight years and that was the *best* they could do...

Bad imitations and "a storm is coming" is lazy comedy.

But I simply cannot watch most humor programs because they are becoming so tedious with the Trump knocks. It's reached the point that even good points don't land with impact because it is so frequent.

I don't know. It takes a special talent to NOT be funny about Trump. But they manage to not be funny.

He is such an EASY target. But they never hit. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 2 feet away. It almost has to be intentional!
