Dear Seth Myers,

It's been a few weeks now since Mr. Obama was sworn into office and many more weeks since the November election.

I'm waiting for a classic SNL skit. You know- one of those tongue in cheek, ad hominem bits of sketch comedy that makes your show famous.

George H.W. Bush (Dana Carvey): Stay the course, a thousand points of light, stay the course.
Michael Dukakis (Jon Lovitz): I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!

Or those three thousand six hundred and twenty five (roughly) Sarah Palin skits last September.

Or January 2005- the first SNL after W43 was sworn in (again), your opening skit was the Bush twins drunk in their White House bedroom after the inaugural balls. Dick Cheney put them to bed. Okay the Obama girls are much younger and it's good you leave them alone. But...nothing?

Nothing???

No, not Solid, solid as Barack or the Cool sketch- all they do is tell us you love the guy. That's not comedy, that's called being a brown nose. Even last night's The Rock Obama didn't come close to the harsh, albeit funny, character attacks on political figures. Even in the spoofs on Hillary you treated her as our comedic equal.

"I was under the impression there would be no math." said a confused Gerald Ford.

But I'm not one to just wait (read the About Me section). So, I've already written a skit for you: you get a bunch of actors dressed for business in a classroom setting with a sign "Commerce Secretary Vetting Room". In walks Obama and his VP. After an introductory speech (off the teleprompter, of course) on the importance of ethics in government and how this will be the cleanest administration in history, he tells the candidates to prepare for some difficult questions:

Obama: If you have an illegal immigrant cleaning your house, raise your hand.
A few raise their hands.
Obama: Okay, you can go.
They depart.
Obama: Anyone being investigated by the FBI, FEC, SEC, IRS or DEA?
Hands go up.
John Hader: What about the DOJ?
Obama: Yes, DOJ too- thank you for pointing that out.
Hader raises his hand.
Obama: Damn. You can go.
etc...

You get it, Seth, right? Get where I am going with this?

Anyway, I just hope you don't run from comedy out of fear of taking on Obama. Channel the spirit of your comedic ancestors. Think of George Carlin and Richard Pryor. Push the envelope, Seth. That's what SNL does, regardless of political party. Right?

Sure, Obama is popular. But he's human, Seth, and he's given you great material for some funny sketches. He's cluncked his head on Marine One and tried to walk through the Oval Office window. Half his cabinet has not paid their taxes. And the Russian "reset" button? That has a spoof commercial (a la Staples) written all over.

Don't let us down, Seth.
