Original Saturday Night Live cast member Garrett Morris is not a fan of the show's current season.
"I don't see the courage, the experimental impulses," the member of the group known as the Not Ready for Prime Time Players told The Guardian. "That was the whole core of what happened the first 10 years. I keep expecting it to attack in a funny way and bring out the foibles not only of individuals, but of the government and all that. And nowadays, although people still check it out, I think they’re catering to too many people too much of the time."
SNL creator Lorne Michaels hired Morris to write for the NBC sketch show in its debut season. Morris was later promoted to cast member alongside Dan Akroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner.
