“Saturday Night Live” Is Losing Cast Members, But Not Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Or Aidy Bryant

September 27, 2021 / Posted by:

A few months ago, it was rumored that five major cast members were done with Saturday Night Live, and wouldn’t be returning for the show’s upcoming 47th season. Those five cast members included: Pete Davidson, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kenan Thompson wouldn’t be back. All of them had moments in the season 46 finale that kind of made it seem like they were saying goodbye. But the internet gossips were wrong. As it turns out, SNL will be losing Beck Bennett instead. Pete, start lifting weights and guzzling protein shakes – someone needs to pick up the shirtless slack left vacant by Beck’s absence.

Lorne Michaels Wants “Saturday Night Live’s” Current Cast To Stick Around For A Bit 

August 3, 2021 / Posted by:

It has been said many times that to know Lorne Michaels is to study Austin Powers’ Dr. Evil character. And I know Lorne Michaels isn’t saying goodbye to Saturday Night Live cast members by unceremoniously firing them into space or dropping them into a tank filled with laser-equipped sharks. The reality is probably more of an emotionless handshake and asking if you need instructions on where to return your NBC security pass. But Lorne doesn’t want to do any of that this year. According to Variety, Lorne is desperate to keep several veteran cast members on for the 47th season, and beyond.

Pete Davidson, Who Might Be One Of Several Exiting Cast Members, Dragged Chrissy Teigen On “Saturday Night Live”

May 24, 2021 / Posted by:

Stay cool” isn’t just a cute suggestion on Pete Davidson’s sweatshirt. When Pete dropped by the Weekend Update desk on the season finale of Saturday Night Live, he delivered a joke about Chrissy Teigen that was so ice cold, the logo on his sweatshirt could double as a promise. And previously when Pete has cracked a joke about real people, they sometimes get upset enough that Pete is then forced to deliver an awkward on-air mea culpa about it next to the person he dragged for laughs. But if internet rumors and speculation turn out to be correct, then we’ll never see Chrissy forcing a smile as she accepts a live apology from Pete next season. Because Saturday’s show was the final episode of the 46th season, and sources believe it was the end of Pete’s tenure as a cast member. And joining him might be Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, and Kenan Thompson.

As Expected, “Saturday Night Live” Made Fun Of Melissa Carone’s Train Wreck Testimony

December 6, 2020 / Posted by:

When Rudy Giuliani dragged out his star witness Melissa Carone, a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems, during a hearing about Trump’s voter fraud allegations in front of Michigan’s House Oversight Committee, some people said, “So that’s what happened to Victoria Jackson?!, and others said, “Oh, so it looks like Rudy just went up to a random drunk mess in an Applebee’s parking lot and offered her a coupon for a free Long Island Iced Tea if she claimed she witnessed voter fraud while testifying before Michigan’s House Oversight Committee.” People also wondered who would play that broken Bump-It in human form on Saturday Night Live’s inevitable skit about this mess, and while I saw “Kaley Cuoco after getting jumped by a bunch of rabid raccoons while on a NyQuil high“, many saw Cecily Strong since she’s got her Ph.D. in playing drunk wrecks. And that’s who we got!
