That's not exactly how it works.
The biggest problem with the format IMO, is they write all the skits on a Tuesday, pitch them Wednesday, fine tune them until Saturday. They don't do any writing on weeks where there is no show, or in the off-season. Seems to me they could have more hits, if they weren't pressured to come up with material in a few days. I know they have to be topical, but they should do much more writing year round.
Lorne has created a very competitive environment. Not very collaborative. Tina Fey was explaining the difference between SNL and 30 Rock on a recent Nerdist podcast.
