Only "Weekend Update" seemed to really go after the senator following his resignation announcement. “SNL’s longstanding association with Franken meant that its jokes at the Democrats’ expense felt a bit more pointed than typical,” writes Aja Romano. “The section was notable for its subtly abrasive tone in the middle of a lackluster evening where many jokes didn’t quite land, and where most of the sexual harassment jokes were more tired than on point.” ALSO: The optics of the “Sexual Harassment Charlie” sketch were particularly awful.
