It used to be Art Imitates Life, but recently, TV people have begun to wonder.  
Producer and star of Designated Survivor, Kiefer Sutherland has repeatedly denied the show's writers are copying what's happening in the White House these days.  Over at Saturday Night Live, they're trying hard to be funnier, wilder, crazier than real-life White House events, but I hunch it's all they can do to keep up. The writer's worst nightmare: not nearly as funny as reality.
