Back in May, Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, and
Kyle Moone announced that they were leaving Saturday Night Live. Today, Variety is reporting that Melissa Villasenor, Alex Moffat, and Aristotle Athari are also departing the show.
No word if they will be replaced, but I have a feeling they won’t be, and this is part of a cost-cutting effort.
Before Dana Carvey was living with Mike Myers in Wayne’s World, he was living with Mickey Rooney in One of the Boys. Who knew that Dana Carvey was so cute when he was 26 years old in that 1982 episode?
Bowen Yang was on Live with Kelly and Ryan today, and he told them that Faye Dunaway wants to confront him on Saturday Night Live.
Why is the legendary actress after him? That is because the comedian’s Instagram page uses the handle Faye Dunaway. When the real Faye Dunaway heard about that, she told people she wants to take him on, on live TV.
So now Yang has to plan the scenario where that happens. If he doesn’t do a Mommie Dearest bit, then he needs to do a Pete Davidson and leave the show.
Several actors from Saturday Night Live went from the small screen to the big one. Yesterday on Jeopardy, the game show did a whole category dedicated to the roles of those Not Ready for Primetime Players.
It is pretty easy if you know SNL and the people who came from it. If you don’t, then you are not alone. That is because two of the contestants didn’t even try to guess any of the answers.
Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson are ready for Primetime because yesterday was their last Saturday Night Live as one of the players.
McKinnon has been there for 11 seasons, Bryant did 10, Mooney comes at 9, and Kim Kardashian’s boy toy was only there for 8.
It will be interesting to see if they replace them. If I were Michaels, I would try to bring back one of the greats to rejoin the show. How much fun would it be to have David Spade or Anthony Michael Hall back on the show? Well, the latter would be fun because he would be able to get another shot after his failed season with Robert Downey, Jr in 1985.
