How 'Saturday Night Live' Became a Grim Joke is an article from the March 1995 edition of New York Magazine. It was largely negative, showing vast amounts of infighting in the cast and detailing Janeane Garofalo's relatively short tenure on the show. The article also made note of the one-joke sketches and the expensive sets the show used for them. It was a precipitating factor in the massive cast and writer change following season 20.
