So, [SNL really has a crack background check team](https://www.vulture.com/2019/09/snl-shane-gillis-racist-homophobic-remarks.html). Did they really not kniw this? did they know it and actually think it was survivable in today’s climate? i can’t decide which of the two would make them more stupid.

I’m a little out of touch with podcast comedy culture. Are they considered extreme or atypical? The clips I’ve seen make it look like they’re auditioning to be the new Morning Zoo for some local FM station.
