The hosts discuss David Spade’s show "Lights Out" and the trend of digging through comedians' histories to find offensive content. They recall past SNL sketches featuring John Belushi and Mike Myers that would be considered unacceptable by modern standards. The conversation centers on the loss of equal-opportunity offense in comedy due to advertiser pressure.
Tom Brokaw provides a historical retrospective on the White House Correspondents Dinner, tracing its origins from a small gathering of Washington sources to a tabloid-style event. Brokaw identifies the 1975 appearance of the Saturday Night Live cast, including Chevy Chase and John Belushi, as a turning point for the event's profile. He specifically cites the invitation of Fawn Hall and later Lindsay Lohan as markers of the dinner's decline in dignity.
