VIDEO : Why SNL Avoided Harvey Weinstein Jokes

According to Screen Rant, there's a reason that Saturday Night Live cut jokes about Harvey Weinstein from the Weekend Update. Variety claims that two jokes about Weinstein were chopped because the dress rehearsal audience didn't find them funny. Screen Rant's not buying it. Instead, they're pointing the finger at SNL showrunner, Lorne Michaels. Screen Rant explains, "Hollywood is a complex city that is filled with both heroes and villains alike. Now, everyone is having to choose which side they?re on." Last week The New York Times revealed that Weinstein is battling eight sexual harassment claims made by people in Hollywood.
