Rob Schneider recalls moment when SNL was 'over'

Rob Schneider looked back at a questionable moment during his Saturday Night Live skit and thought that the show was "over".

In the episode that aired on November 12, 2016, right after Donald Trump was elected, it took a dig at the former president.

Appearing on The Glenn Beck Podcast he expressed how he did not like to "indoctrinate people like some comedy shows seem to" and referred to a certain episode that aired right after the explosive presidential elections.

The performance began with a tribute to Hallelujah singe and songwriter Leonard Cohen who had passed away that month, and had some words for the audience.

"When Kate McKinnon went out there on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from the cold opening — she started dressed as Hillary Clinton and she starts playing 'Hallelujah' — and I literally prayed to please have a joke at the end," he told Beck. 

"'Don’t do this. Please don’t go down there.'''

"I’m not giving up, and neither should you," McKinnon said after the cold opening.

After the skit, Schneider came out as a true conservative in 2020 and felt that SNL was done.

"It’s over. This is not going to come back," Schneider remembered thinking.

"You can take the comedic indoctrination process happening with each of the late-night hosts and you could exchange them with each other," he said on Beck’s podcast. 

"That’s how you know that’s not interesting anymore because...it’s not an independent voice anymore. It’s all just indoctrination by comedic imposition."
