Hawaiian’s Not Happy With Satuday Night Live Skit!
Hey everyone! Well folks, reportedly the skit about Hawaiian natives that featured in a recent episode of Saturday Night Live tv show,has not come out as too funny for Hawaii’s lieutenant governor and some others in the state’s tourism industry. The skit, portraying in an exaggerated manner as to how annoying and frustrating dealing with tourists can be, has been condemned. The skit which is about four-minutes long depicted a pair of irritated locals who have to sing and dance for the visitors of the mainland. Reportedly, the Hawaiian lieutenant governor, James “Duke” Aiona, is worried about the negative impact the skit might have on the state’s biggest industry and to make the creators of the show notice his displeasure, he is also planning to write a letter to the executive producer Lorne Michaels. This is not the first time that Saturday Night Live is in the midst of controversy. During its thirty four year long run, the show that is currently airing the last leg of its Season 34 has faced many such issues where people have found one or the other skit offensive. But then I believe that people should not take these things seriously as they are just a part of fun and entertainment and I am sure the creators do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Saturday Night Live has been one of the longest running shows on the American television. Since its inception in 1975, it has made the careers of many famous comedians and actors and is still continuing with this trend. Last year, the series became renowned for its coverage of the Presidential campaign. I have been watching Saturday Night Live for the last many years and I have never felt that any of the skits or gags is intended to hurt the sentiments of anybody. As the series is a comedy entertainer, I believe we should let it remain like that instead of creating controversy from the scenes depicted in the skits or the comments made by the hosts or the anchors. That way we are sure to enjoy the entertainment provided by the show to a much greater extent. So go on and enjoy the fun that you only get to see on shows like Saturday Night Live!
