I’m not sure the laugh meter from the studio audience is the best metric, but yes, I think they do have a full audience, though probably masked, which may muffle the laugh meter score. I Did not pay any attention to the audience, but if it was less loud than usual on a Weekend Update segment I suspect it was because, as I said, it was both funny and heartbreaking.
