South Park on their reasons for "backing off" of Trump:   “We were really trying to make fun of what was going on [last season] but we couldn’t keep up. What was actually happening was way funnier than anything we could come up with. So we decided to just back off and let [politicians] do their comedy and we’ll do ours.” Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live seems to have no shortage of material to use . It's almost like one group is made up of comedic actors who know how to find humor in everything, and the other group are political/social contrarians who may actually agree with the ideals of the latest target.
