Katie Miller and Laura Ingraham Criticize Saturday Night Live’s Political Humor
Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife, told Laura Ingraham on her podcast that Saturday Night Live’s sketches are overly mean-spirited and not funny.
On her recent podcast, Katie Miller, the spouse of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, argued that Saturday Night Live no longer delivers humor, describing its content as mean-spirited. Co-host Laura Ingraham agreed, recalling how earlier ethnic jokes were treated more lightly and suggesting that genuine comedy requires stepping away from politics. Both have been frequent subjects of SNL impersonations, with Ingraham noting past sketches by Kate McKinnon that mocked her show.
Miller added that recent SNL pieces seem driven by a “woke corporate leftist” perspective rather than comedy. The discussion highlighted their broader frustration with media portrayals they view as biased.
