What's the appeal of SNL?

Everything I've heard about SNL makes it sound like an unbearably toxic workplace. And I tried watching the sketches but outside of those that got popular (Papyrus, Alien abduction, Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer, joke swaps etc) has been meh.

Brits get couple of comedians to do anagrams and sums, or tell lies,nand that's somehow funnier and more entertaining than SNL.

Used to be a talent factory for new comedians. But they lost their way i think
