SNL: Women Friendly

This last week's episode of SNL featured 6 returning women cast mates. They were hilarious among many other characteristics. The entire hour and a half episode contained a feminist ideology. The skits were loosely based around the idea of feminism in all it's forms. There was so much content in the episode whether it was political, social, or economical. I think the main reason this episode was so successful is because it contained some of the entertainment industries leading ladies. With host Betty White, 88, the generations of comedy were vastly covered. Each women containing a different scopophilia is a reason the ratings were sure to plummet after last nights performance. The "to-be-looked-at-ness" came in many forms weather it was comical, or an over sexualized Molly Shannon, and spiked the attention of many. The outfits the women wore were what they denote but the connotations raged anything from being a lesbian, to being an empowered women at the age of 50, or to being Whitney Houston going on tour yet again. I think it was good for NBC to have an episode like this where it was mostly women, especially because the majority of the regular cast mates are men. NBC made a wise choice by picking the perky Betty White as a host, followed by 6 returning women cast mates.
