Yes, apparently some number of the dozen or so people who watch the show were feeling RacialOutrage or GenderOutrage or both because it hasn't had a Black female cast member since the Bush administration. There is apparently no outrage that the show has not been funny since the Clinton administration.
In a Jan. 7 press release, COC Chief Grievance Monger Rashad Robinson patted himself on the back for blackmailing NBCUniversal:
SNL producer Lorne Michaels said he would now work on addressing the extortion demands of audience members claiming discrimination against left-handed, Siamese, lesbian dwarfs of Hawaiian/Basque descent.
Zamata said she expects the new job will open lots of doors in the future.(no she didn't.)
Hey, she might actually be funny, but the process certainly was not.
Go check how many MFM reports on her addition to the cast mention COC.
Yeah, nothing says "you earned this" like spineless capitulation from the suits, which is then covered up.
Hmmm, is using 'blackmail' in this context insensitive? Gee, I hope so.
Comedienne? Oh yeah. I did that on purpose.
UPDATE: Variety says the hire is tokenism and will put an asterisk next to Zamata's name whether she's original, funny and talented or not.
No mention of COC.
