I think I read Lorne Michaels to say that the criticism that the current season is not as good as before, started in Season 2 and became an annual complaint ever since.
Musical guests were certainly more edgy and artistic in the beginning. Now it is definitely more "pop".
Political satire has been difficult in the time of Trump - the reality is so absurd you can't make it more silly.
I think I would rather have cameos from top SNL alumni, than random celebrities.
