In News SNL
Rumor has it that SNL will be losing six, count 'em, six cast members in the new season.
We already know that Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch are moving over to "30 Rock." What's news is that Horatio Sanz, Chris Parnell and Kenan Thompson are likely to be shown the door as well. And talks with Darrell Hammond (who has been on the show since I was in the 10th grade) are still up in the air.
And no one was sadder than Maggie.
Personally, I hate to see Tina and Rachel go, but I'm not really heartbroken about any of the fellas. Although I'd rather see them lose Finesse Mitchell over any of those three.
The OTHER big news is that Tina is going to be replaced by newbie Jason Sudeikis. I don't think this bodes well.
Did you also hear that Rachel Dratch’s character on 30 Rock is recast as Jane Krakowski? Apparently she’ll still be on the show in another part, though.
Jason Sudeikis. Hm. I like him well enough. That “a couple of a-holes” sketch is strangely compelling. (Major hate on Kristin Wiig, though.)
We are *bursting* with television news today, apparently.
Why do you hate Kristin Wiig? I haven’t really seen her in a lot, but I don’t have any hate-age stored up.
I guess Sudeikis could be okay — it is just impossible to fill Tina Fey’s shoes. Hopefully they’ll start their own dynamic rather than trying to replicate the one they had before.
Wiig: I think she’s really twitchy and not that funny. Her timing is weird. That Target sketch is painful.
She’s totally Mad TV
