Like beauty, funny is in the eye of the beholder. I personally haven't
found SNL funny in many decades. The only bits I particularly liked
were when Eddie Murphy mocked Michael Jackson by pulling out a
Michael Jackson doll and noting that it was anatomically correct - it
had no genitals at all. Also, some of the musical performances in the
early days were good.

Somehow, SNL became a tradition and keeps getting renewed for no
obvious reason. Does it actually have good ratings or is it just kept
going because it is reliably leftist in its sentiments and tone?

 The Weekend Update fake newscast is still usually funny, even if most of the
jokes are biased in favor of leftists.

Yeah, right wing guys tend to be about as funny as cancer.  Humor is highly subjective though so you seem extra stupid today acting like you're the final arbiter of what's "funny."
I particularly like the bit where Colin

Jost and Michael Che each have to read jokes they've never seen before which
were written by the other guy. Those are genuinely laugh-out-loud hilarious.
 But the rest of the show? I rarely crack and smile and the musical acts are
usually horrendous. Most are some version of rap or hip hop. I'd rather listen
to five minutes of fingernails scratching a chalkboard than that.
