Top Trump adviser Stephen Miller didn’t find the funny in a joke about President Donald Trump on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live.”
The Trump White House deputy chief of staff for policy slammed the NBC sketch show as the “church of woke” after its “Weekend Update” segment anchor Michael Che mocked Trump’s claim that “no president has changed government faster” by cracking: “Yeah, and nobody changed airport security faster than bin Laden.”

Asked for his take on Fox News, Miller fumed:
‘Saturday Night Live’ has not been culturally relevant in 20 years. ‘Saturday Night Live’ has not produced a meaningful talent since the 1990s. ‘Saturday Night Live’ has been the place where comedy goes to die. The only good thing that has happened on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the last couple of decades were the times that President Trump hosted ‘Saturday Night Live.’
Watch Miller’s response here:
The anti-immigration hardliner wasn’t done, though, continuing:
We would all love to go back to the ‘Saturday Night Live’ that we grew up with but unfortunately because it’s gone woke, because it’s gone left, because it’s gone politically correct, ‘Saturday Night Live’ is now the antithesis of comedy.
And Miller, who only last month had be asked to “calm down” after flipping out during an interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar, concluded:
Unless and until they decide to be fearless and bold and brave, and actually mock and challenge the radical left and the church of woke, they are not ever going to be funny again.
The cold open of “SNL” also mocked Trump and The New York Times’ report of a bust-up between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and billionaire Elon Musk, who Trump has tasked with slashing public spending and jobs via the nonofficial Department of Government Efficiency.
