Kenan Thompson was doing a studio voiceover gig when his cell phone started lighting up.The first call came from his agent. The second one: the boss, Lorne Michaels, creator of "Saturday Night Live." Pay no attention, they told him, to published reports that had him being fired from the cast.It would have been a major shock, Thompson said "I left Lorne’s office three days earlier, and he said I was coming back," said Thompson, a Lake Las Vegas resident since 2004.Ten of the 17 cast members are leaving, including four whose firings could be announced this week. Two mainstays, Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch, are leaving to work on "30 Rock," a parody of ‘SNL.’Thompson said Darrell Hammond, impersonator extraordinaire, has been told "he can come back if he wants."

I wonder who is gone? But since I do not watch the show I would not know their names anyways!
