I auditioned as a writer for SNL this year (didnt get it). The workload and ambition is insane. it's really easy to criticize until you have to produce even just the first drafts of a weekly packet, let alone redraft and get shooting script ready.
So much work goes into just filtering out inappropriate jokes from idiots who think they're the next George Carlin.
