Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Bill Hagerty, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Keenan Thompson, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Bowen Yang…comic geniuses, all of them, and most better than the original cast by a mile ( I watched the show from its first episode).

Fortunately, some of their best sketches are on the SNL YouTube channel.

Laughter is the best medicine, and the world needs plenty of medicine these days.
