Is the "Trump is a racist" call out on SNL going to backfire?

Latino group offers $5K for calling Trump a racist on ‘SNL’

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/259139-latino-group-offers-5k-to-call-trump-racist-on-snl

I haven't watched SNL in 25 years or more, but I'll actually watch it tonight to see how it plays out.

I can see any number of things happening...

Trump/SNL will make a big joke of it

Trump will be the first one to say "Trump is a racist" and lay claim to the $5,000

SNL is broadcast on a delay, and anyone in the audience that yells that will be bleeped out

It's no different from any other political disruption and will be ignored.

they record it (just in case).

The 2nd show is the live program.

They can pull material from the recorded show, if needs must.

Didn't know that. Regardless, I doubt the producers will let it air unless they somehow work it into the script, but
that's just wild speculation on my part that they would even do that.

I believe they tape both shows, and the over-the-air version is the one that is archived as "the" show.

Can not stand to watch all the comedians on the present show that are a shadow of former greats.

If anyone was unsure how the corporate media is All In for a final push to fascism should not have many more doubts now.

I've already tortured myself enough by sitting through this douchenozzle's debate performances. No way I'm going to watch a 90-minute jerk-off session for his ego.

I don't even normally watch SNL anyway. I'm sure it will get YUGE numbers without me.
