For more than 40 years, the SNL has been a prominent show for the American audience. In the long run, it managed to amass quite a fan following. But surely, like every entertainment piece, this too was not devoid of critics. In a recent podcast that featured Ludwig, SNL became the center of attention for a while. Lud was having a series of hilarious and interesting interactions with his friends from Arizona State University in the podcast.

The group was laughing and had conversations on various topics when SNL came as a topic of interest. The conversations began with Ludwig recollecting how Michel Longfellow was roped in for SNL. Apparently, Longfellow was an ASU alumnus who also was part of ASU comedy.

“Isn’t SNL cringe,” was the immediate response of Lud’s friend. According to Ludwig’s buddies, SNL is both cringe and also a goal for many comedians. The platform that the show offers is massive. Thus, it would be a perfect launch pad for comedians to shoot up the popularity ladder.
