That's not at all what he's saying. He's saying that Congress passing a law that can prohibit corporations from influencing elections could lead to Congress forcing SNL to stop with the political jokes.
Let's face it, his Sarah Palin reference is spot on. A lot of people got the impression Sarah Palin was an idiot from those SNL sketches. You can argue she's an idiot anyways or blah blah blah, but there is no denying SNL played a huge role in giving her that image. Hell, people still to this day think Sarah Palin said "I can see Russia from my house."
It's kind of funny that Congress is even considering this legislation because this is exactly how we got into this mess to begin with.
Citizens United cried foul on Michael Moore's leftist bullshit movies because they said it violated campaign laws because he could use any money he wanted to produce his movies and he could advertise them whenever he wanted as well, even though they obviously painted Bush to be the devil and he shouldn't be reelected.
The courts basically said "Yeah, no. It's a real movie, we're not going to say people can't make movies."
So Citizens United said "Well shit, we'll just start making 'real movies' too so we can say and do whatever we want as well! LOOPHOLE!"
But then Citizens United was dragged into court for the exact same shit they accused Michael Moore of and thus we have the Citizens United ruling and now Congress is like "Hey! Let's just prevent all corporations from spending money on elections! What can go wrong?!"
This...is what can go wrong.
Hey, whatever happened to the Democrat mantra of wanting Congress to, y'know, work on job bills and getting the economy back on track? Why aren't you giving the Senate shit for this failure of a legislation? Oh, right, because Democrats are pushing for it.

>A lot of people got the impression Sarah Palin was (is) an idiot..
We don't need a skit to know that.
Apparently a lot of people did because the only thing they can quote from what Sarah Palin said was "I can see Russia from my house" even though she never said that. If that's the only thing people can point to then I think it kind of proves that a lot of people get their political "news" from SNL.
