Even though his Reagan prank arguably went too far, I still think it’s rude of SNL to not bring back original cast member John Hinckley Jr. for the 50th anniversary

I think it’s disgusting that they brought back Chevy Chase. As Pete Davidson put it, “He’s a fucking douchebag. Fuck Chevy Chase. I hate that dude. He’s just a genuinely bad, racist person, and I don’t like him.”
We stopped watching years ago. It just got stupid. When it first came out and for about 30 years, the show was groundbreaking, funny, relevant. We were looking forward to the show tonight but it was disappointing.
We needed laughs, memories and a few poignant spots. It didn’t deliver.
Is it reasonable, my friend, that I stay connected and wait for your activity on the platform to send you a message and tell you that I want to help you?
True story: Immediately after the shooting, when his name was announced, I went to the rotary phone, dialed Colorado information (303-555-1212) and asked for John Hinckley's phone number. The operator said, "that's so strange - my last caller asked for the same person!"

I think that qualifies as something wrong.

He has a podcast on his memories for the occasion of the 50th anniversary, tho (I didn't listen to all of it yet):
