It broke my heart when Kate, Aidy and Cecily left. They were the glue that held that show together. Cecily’s final show was so sad especially for Colin Jost. You could tell he was upset when he did Weekend Update and never smiled during the entire skit. I was wondering what was wrong with him but then it was obvious. That ending and the one where Mick Jagger sang She’s A Rainbow for Kristen Wiig on her final show are legendary.

Yeah the producers will pull in anyone they think can contribute to the show but sometimes clashing personalities get in the way.

The problem at SNL is that when it started the established a work rate and a schedule that was only possible because everyone at the time was on cocaine. Many, many cast members have spoken of how trying to maintain that work load sober is nearly impossible. It's probably why the show is so sloppy now. Jay Mohr wrote a great book about his year at SNL called 'Gasping for Airtime', and how being on that show drove him to near-fatal panic attacks and eventually stealing ideas out of sheer desperation.

@landonandvinceryan9034 5 ай бұрын

💯 AGREED with all you said. Strong was different in a good way towards her end. And currently, Weekend Update is the only must-see part of SNL left, and its been that way for a few years now. What’s considered talent is different now and the legendary talent from the 70s-early 2000s has aged out with modern-day “talent” vanilla, at best. I had a sliver of hope for last week’s Emma Stone episode per hers from years past were solid, but the pathetic writing totally flatlined the entire episode apart from WU. Once Che & Jost move on from SNL, the very last of true greatness on SNL is gone.

Easy: he didn't bring anything to the table and they fired him. SNL is built around the guest of the week and the ideas that guest likes. Newbies stick around by pitching ideas to the guest and you can tell who came up with the sketches by their presence in it. Athari only had like 2-3 characters with the robot recycled from his old comedy routines and maybe 10 actual appearance where he said anything significant through his time. Some of the other new cast easily had twice that. Not saying he wasn't funny but some people aren't the right fit for the job.

I don't think it necessarily "takes" more members to do the show. I think it just may be a case of them liking more members, or finding it works better with more members.

Isn't strange that 4 or 5 leading female comedians left the show together in 2022? There's certainly something that you are; telling us. Cant 't be a coincidence, come on. What happened?

They were on a very demanding intense show for a decade. Andy and Kate were very good friends and also wanted to branch out.

If you look at the records of SNL tenures, those 4 or 5 were in the top 10 longest terms or pretty close to it. A lot of the cast that left in the last season were there a lot longer than they should've been compared to the norm, partly because of their bonds and partly because Lorne wanted (and still does want) to make it to Season 50 with a decent cast so he paid a premium to extend their contracts. Eventually one broke apart and the rest followed.

Love all of them. Love the current cast too. I hope the strike ends soon. Pretty sure Redd was fired. He was listed as a returning cast member then disappeared on the season premiere. Then photos of him and Keenans wife surfaced. Definitely fired lol. Keenan is the veteran.

Chris also may have opted to leave to avoid the awkwardness of working in the same place as kenan, for obvious reasons.

I heard they start off at $1-3k and caps out at about $8-10k weekly or something in that neighborhood.

@@aarondigby5054 It's true that new cast members are paid less than veterans but those who pull rank like Kenan Thompson, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, etc made a flat $25k per episode regardless if they are in multiple sketches or not. Those just starting out are paid between $7k and $10k depending how active they are. Those who are also ranking writers like Colin Jost make additional pay.
