It was revived in [[2001]] after a 12-year lapse in publication and again in [[2004]] after a shorter one. It stopped publication most recently in [[2020]] and has not yet been revived.
 The magazine has occasionally tested the boundaries of satire severely. 1,500 copies of a [[1967]] issue that included phrases such as "tar babies" and "the noble savage" were confiscated by black students from around campus, and around 30 of them were burned in front of [[Ferris Booth Hall]] in June of that year.<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19670605-01.2.2&srpos=3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-IN-negroes+AND+jester----#</ref>
