The in-studio sound levels are terrible

I’ve been to 3 live tapings of SNL, and every time I’ve noticed that the in-studio sound levels are extremely low and sometimes important jokes and moments are missed, which essentially winds up somewhat affecting the quality of the show. There might be a reason why the levels are low, maybe because it bleeds into their lav mics, and the boom mics, but I feel like if they just turned up the volume somehow like 30% a lot more jokes would land with the audience. Anyone else notice this or have any insight?
