“I hate to crap on my old show,” Rob told The Blaze‘s Glenn Beck, via Meditate.

According to Rob, Kate McKinnon coming out on SNL dressed as Hillary Clinton and singing “Hallelujah” at the piano was the moment he realized the show ditched laughs for politics.

“I literally prayed, ‘please have a joke at the end,’” Rob recalled thinking. “Don’t do this. Please don’t go down there. And there was no joke at the end, and I went, ‘It’s over. It’s over. It’s not gonna come back.’”

Kate came out and gave the very somber cold open performance in November 2016 in the first episode after Clinton lost the presidential election to Donald Trump.

Rob then went on to criticize late-night hosts – including Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel – for not having an “independent voice.”

“You can take the comedic indoctrination process happening with each of the late night hosts, and you could exchange them with each other,” Rob explained. “That’s how you know it’s not interesting anymore.”

If you missed it, Kate opened up about her decision to leave SNL.
