WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Saturday Night Live (SNL) to have each of the remaining 36 Republican presidential candidates host a future episode of the late-night comedy television show.
SNL had previously announced that Donald Trump will host the November 7 episode, prompting complaints from the rest of the Republican candidate field.
FCC rules mandate that if free airtime was granted to a candidate over the public airwaves, equal time had to be made available to his or her opponent, if it was requested.
Well, all of Trump’s opponents requested equal time.
So there you have it, for 35 weeks after November 7 viewers will be treated to a GOP presidential candidate hosting SNL, starting with Ben Carson.
On the Democratic side, since Hillary Clinton appeared for a short segment of SNL recently, each of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Jim Webb who dropped out of the race today) will be given the same amount of time on the show.
That, folks, is how Demoracy works!
