Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Horatio Sanz hilariously complained about the show’s right-wing bias in a podcast interview Thursday.
Sanz, who was on ‘SNL’ from 1998 to 2006, attacked the show while on sportswriter Bill Simmons’ Grantland podcast that was airing from the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
He said it was obvious by the way they portrayed certain stories which side people were on.
“That’s what you get out of that story? That everyone in San Francisco is so weird that they’re wearing fucking leather and whipping each other,” Sanz said in reference to an old sketch about Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi being from San Francisco.
“It’s that kind of conservative bullshit that I was against,” he continued.
He also believes that Will Ferrell’s portrayal of George W. Bush on “Saturday Night Live” helped him win in 2000, despite the fact that Ferrell is an out and proud Democrat.
Sanz is completely out of touch if he considers “Saturday Night Live” to be conservative.
Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impressions in 2008 were certainly not design to help swing an election over to the Republicans and the number of Republicans the show mocks compared to Democrats is much higher.
A writer for the show even once laughably said that they don’t make fun of President Obama because there isn’t any material there to work with.
